“The government is dreaming a day dream to arrange a fake election to prolong their power. As a result they are torturing and persecuting on the opponents. Freedom of expression and assembly on the streets is a constitutional right of every citizen, but the government is depriving the people of that right by deploying the police force. The government is torturing Jamaat Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman including other national leaders by making anti-government camp leaderless,” he added.
He urged to the government the immediate and unconditional release of Jamaat Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman, Allama Delware Hossain Saydee, Maulana A N M Shamsul Islam, professor Mia Golum Parwar including all alem-ulemas and political leaders and activists avoiding the bad politics and avarice of power. Otherwise, people will release their beloved Jamaat Ameer through mass movement.
“They are now restoring various rumors, lies, tricks and conspiracies to prolong their illegal power. They have started blatant lies about foreign diplomats. They have dishonored the country by spreading lies on Donald Lu, the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs. They want to disperse the upcoming anti-government movement by making various conspiracies. But their conspiracies will not be successful,” he again added.
Dr. M R Karim called forth the government to hand over power to caretaker government avoiding the bad politics and conspiracies. Otherwise, they have to suffer much.
“The electricity price hike has broken all past records under the ruling government. People’s life has been made miserable by increasing the electricity price 10 times in a completely unreasonable phase in the last 14 years. The government has taken a complete lie and trick to increase the price of electricity. The price of gas has already been risen. The state is passing through a serious crisis due to failure, corruption and wrong policy of the government. The price of daily essentials has been increased,” he again added.
He called forth all to come down to the streets unitedly to oust the government.
“When Awami League come to power, they make a deep conspiracy about education. They made atheist education policy first after the independence in the name of Kudrat-e-Khuda Education Commission. They have added the evolution theory of Charles Darwin, a theory of controversy. But the conscious people will not accept this anti-nation and anti-ethnicity education policy of the government in any way,” he also added.
