Amar Bangladesh Party, AB Party, held a demonstration on Monday morning demanding resignation of this unelected government, suspension of election schedule and end to mass detention on trumped up cases. The protest rally paraded through the streets of Shegun Bagicha, Bijoy Nogor and Kakrail area of the capital before ending at Bijoy 71 square.
Mojibur Rahman Monju, Member Secretary of AB Party, said, staging dummy candidates from the ruling party to create an artificial election competition wouldn’t save this unelected government’s throne. Fake candidates from King’s parties failed to gain any attraction. Ignoring repeated warnings, the EC must know that forthcoming national election would not be acceptable by our development partners. Regime’s dirty election ploy would severely affect our already strained economy further, it must be stopped until it’s too late to overturn.
Asaduzzaman Fuaad, a barrister-at-law and Joint Member Secretary of AB Party, said, we witnessed endless intimidation by the ruling party militias jointly with the law enforcement agencies like collaborators who helped the Pakistani military. Ruling party goons are actively helping the law enforcement agencies for surveillance of the pro-democracy activists, raiding house by house, village by village and detain them in thousands.
