Govt divided state system through politicisation: Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday alleged that the current government has divided the state system through politicisation.

"If you go to the court, you won't not get justice. If you go to law enforcers, you won't get security there as first you will be asked whether you belong to BNP or Awami League. If you are with BNP, then you won't get any cooperation. Rather, they will file a case against you," he said.

Speaking at a discussion, he said three leaders of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal's Dhaka south city unit went to a police station to lodge a complaint as they came under attack while returning home at night, but they were implicated in a case.

"The government has divided the entire nation in the last 12/15 years. You won't find any such a place where there is no division based on political identity," Fakhrul said.

He bemoaned that the committees of mosques, schools, madrasas, colleges, universities and other institutions are divided in the country. "This division will never help any nation move forward. Nation can be taken forward through unity which was done by President Ziaur Rahman In 1975," the BNP leader said.

"I often say we're going through a bad time. They (govt) are ruining everything by indulging in corruption, misdeeds and lies," the BNP leader observed.
