BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has demanded the unconditional release of Ishraq Hossain, a member of the party's International Relations Committee. He complained, "The country has now become a country of Mugs."
Mirza Fakhrul said these things in a statement sent by BNP on Sunday (May 19).
The court ordered Ishraq Hossain to be sent to jail on Sunday in the case filed in Paltan police station. Mirza Fakhrul expressed concern about Ishraq being sent to jail.
He complained that the Awami League, which seized the state power through dummy elections, has started torturing the leaders and workers of opposition parties including BNP in various ways every day to retain power. Sending BNP leaders and activists to jail without bail in false cases seems to have become the main program of the Awami government. Ishraq Hossain is also part of that program.
In the statement, the Secretary General of BNP called for the withdrawal of the case against Ishraq Hossain and his unconditional release.
