BNP senior leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Monday urged students and the mass people to put up a strong resistance to prevent the resurgence of the Awami League and its associates. "The fascist face of the Awami League that has been exposed must remain unveiled and its cohorts must be prevented from gaining control over the government or rising again. To thwart this, the freedom-loving students and the masses must remain vigilant, united, and resolute in resisting any such attempts." Dr Moyeen made the remarks while inaugurating a financial support and rehabilitation programme for the students injured during the July-August revolution at the National Ophthalmology Hospital in Agargaon, Dhaka. BNP leaders accuse AL of using Trump’s image for political comeback He said the BNP and other parties played a crucial role through a long movement in creating a ground for the ousting of the Awami League's autocratic regime. "Subsequently, students and the masses joined the movement, and in the face of this popular uprising, the Awami regime was not only defeated but also fled the country like cowards," the BNP leader said. He said the fall of the Awami League regime had proven that truth and justice ultimately triumph over injustice, repression, and suppression. Dr Moyeen, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, said the first phase of the student-led mass movement was the formation of the interim government and their swearing in. "The second phase is securing a fair election, which we have yet to achieve. BNP firmly believes in a fair and impartial election. Once that is held, and a truly people’s representatives take charge of the country through the people's vote, the success of this movement will be realised," he added. Later, Dr Moyeen visited patients who had sustained various injuries during the movement at the hospital and provided financial assistance to 51 of them.

BNP senior leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Monday said the Awami League government will fall apart 'like a house of cards' as people are not with this regime. Speaking at a discussion, he also said the government’s efforts to stay in power 'with the force of the gun' will not succeed. “The basis of democracy is the people. This government has no foundation since the people are not with them. The government itself does not know when they will collapse like a house of cards,” the BNP leader said. 'India deepened ties with AL, not people of Bangladesh': Rizvi Stating that the force of guns cannot stand up to the power of people’s unity and justice, he urged the government to come to the path of democracy and arrange a fresh and credible election. “Otherwise, the consequences will not be good…people can be defeated with bullets, guns and teargas. But people's love can’t be found. The election of January 7 was not fair. Which was said in all the media of the world,” Dr  Moyeen said. He also said the democratic world recognised that there is now no democracy in Bangladesh as the current government usurped power without the mandate of the people. “They are trying to stay in power through the barrel of a gun. Their efforts will never succeed.” Govt to be forced to quit power as it has no ‘foundation’, ‘public support’: BNP leader Moyeen The University Teachers Association of Bangladesh (UTAB) organised the programme titled the “State philosophy of Shaheed Zia in uprooting the new Baksal” at Dhaka Reports’Unity (DRU), marking the 88th birth anniversary of ex-president Ziaur Rahman, the founder of BNP. Dr Moyeen, a BNP standing committee member, said the Awami League does not work for the people as they do the politics of one-party rule and logi-baitha (sticks and oars). “They have sieged all the institutions of the country. They are deceiving the people by talking about the constitution.” He called upon the all professionals, including the teachers, to play a proactive role in restoring democracy and people’s right to franchise: “No one can sit idle when the country lacks democracy. We want to eliminate the system of new Baksal-II.” The BNP leader said the current government wants no one in this country to criticise them and talk about the restoration of democracy as the Awami League has become blind for the lust of power. BNP to bring out black flag processions on January 26, 27 He said the government obstructed a peaceful programme like the distribution of leaflets urging people to boycott the 12th Parliamentary election. “We’ve now announced to take out processions with black flags against the government. But there are threats that if we hold the black-flag processions, then there’ll be a crackdown on us again like in October 28.”

BNP Senior leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Thursday reaffirmed that their party will continue street agitation to restore democracy and people’s right to vote. “Our struggle is to restore democracy.  Democracy refers to a peaceful systematic social system. That is why in principle the struggle to restore that democracy must be peaceful and systematic,” he said. Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader also said they will carry out the systematic and peaceful movement together with the unarmed people to face the government's guns and bullets on the streets.

We’ll bring democracy back to Bangladesh, and we will establish a people's government in this country,” he said. Starting that people are the strength of BNP, Dr Moyeen said their party will oust the current illegal Baksal-II government with that power, braving the powet of guns, the power of bullets, the power of tear gas and the power of water cannons or whatever power this regime has. Zia’s 88th birth anniversary Friday BNP arranged the discussion programme at the institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, marking the 88th birth anniversary of party founder Ziaur Rahman. Dr Moyeen, a BNP standing committee member, said their party does not do the politics of logi-baitha (sticks-oars). “Civilised people do the politics of BNP. This is the difference between Awami League and BNP.” How new MPs took oath when tenure of outgoing parliament not yet expired, questions BNP’s Farooque Claiming that there is no democracy in Bangladesh, he said it may take long-time to get the ultimate success, but they will not budge from their street movement for the restoration of democracy and people’s voting and other rights.
