BNP slams government for mismanagement of traffic system

The BNP has alleged that the government has pushed the entire roads management of the country towards anarchy.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the allegation while speaking at a rally organised by Dhaka South city unit BNP in front of the National Press Club protesting the ongoing load-shedding on Saturday.  

He said: “Our Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader wearing a fancy suit nicely said that what Awami League was doing never happened in the past. But you have pushed the entire roads management towards anarchy."

The BNP leader said hundreds of people are losing their lives in road accidents due to chaos on the roads. “We saw that our 11 students who were travelling in a microbus died as a train hit them yesterday (Friday). We can show numerous examples like this every day.”

“There is a saying in Bengali literature that the kingdom is ruined by the fault of the king, but the people suffer. Sheikh Hasina's government is responsible for the sufferings we’re going through,” the BNP leader added.

He called upon the BNP leaders and workers to take an oath for ousting the 'monstrous' 'fascist' government by launching a one-point demand.
