Govt will not get way to escape, without stepping down: Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Sunday that they will hold completely a peaceful grand rally on October 28.

"We have not ordered any leaders and activists to sit-in."

"This government has created a horrible situation in the country. We thought that the government would accept the demands of the people and organize elections under a non-partisan neutral government. But instead, they are oppressing the people. On the one hand extreme inflation of food prices and lack of work and employment. Law and order situation in the country has deteriorated. The government will not get a way to escape, without stepping down."

He made the comment while briefing to reporters about their October 28 movement.

Earlier, the Secretary General of BNP held a meeting with the party leaders at Nayapaltan office.
