DHAKA: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) will publish a white paper on ruling Awami League's (AL) oppression of opposition leaders and workers throughout the country.
"The political vengeance by the ruling AL has taken a serious turn. BNP will publish a white paper that will contain the list of the opposition leaders and workers, who became the victims of AL cadres," BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed told a press briefing at his Motijheel office in the city yesterday.
He alleged that law and order across the country had deteriorated alarmingly.
"The criminals, patronised by the ruling party, have swooped down on BNP leaders and workers and continued to resort to oppression from the grassroots to central levels," the former law minister mentioned.
Moudud said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on several occasions claimed that there would be no political revenge in the country.
"The ruling party's armed cadres are now engaged in extortion, tender manipulation, land grabbing and looting of shops and business establishments," Moudud Ahmed pointed out.
He added that in the face of the ruling party's armed cadres, police and the administration have become helpless.
"Hundreds of BNP leaders and workers left their ancestral homes from my own constituency in Noakhali during the last 11 months' rule of AL, as the ruling party hoodlums launched attacks on them forcing them to flee," he added.
Apart from these, he said, at least 37 false cases were lodged against the BNP leaders and workers in order to harass them.
"The government's anti-BNP activities are also impeding the party's ongoing reorganisation programme," he added.
Condemning the government's attitude toward BNP, Moudud urged the government to stop such activities.
"If the government doesn't refrain itself from being engaged in such activities, its popularity will decline to zero level," Moudud Ahmed said.
