Amid growing allegation by the government that BNP is conspiring with Israeli intelligent agency Mossad, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday said they want to ‘restore democracy and all rights’ through intensifying their movement together with people, not through any conspiracy. “We don’t believe in any plot, and don’t join hands with conspirators. We’ll restore democracy and people’s rights together with them,” UNB said quoting Fakhrul. Mirza Fakhrul came up with the remarks while speaking at a protest programme arranged by Dhaka City unit BNP at the Institution of Engineers protesting the submission of chargesheets against party chairperson Khaleda Zia in two arson attack cases filed with the capital’s Darussalam Police Station. In the protest programme, Fakhrul alleged that the government is implicating Khaleda Zia in cases one after another as it fears her huge popularity. “We believe cent percent that all the cases filed against our chairperson are false and conspiratorial. The regime wants to keep her away from politics. But, she (Khaleda) is not afraid of facing cases and going to jail.” He said 72,000 cases were filed against over 5.70 lakh BNP leaders and activists across the country while 500 others were killed and 350 made disappeared under this government. The BNP leader urged the government to withdraw all the cases filed against Khaleda and other BNP men immediately and take an initiative to resolve the political problems through discussions and an understanding.

He also criticized the government over arresting BNP joint secretary general Aslam Chowdhury from the capital for his allegedly meeting with Israeli influential leader Mendi N Safadi in India recently to hatch a conspiracy to oust the government.
