‘Govt has no right to stay in power’

"Alliance government could not meet any demands of the countrymen because the prime minister herself does not know who run the administration. In her address to the nation a few days ago, she herself admitted that her government is failing to capture the offenders as administrators and law enforcers do not obey her orders," said the former president at an Iftar party.

He said the prime minister, other ministers, legislators and workers of the alliance government are involved in huge corruption pushing the country to the top of the 'corruption' list for the fifth time in a row.

"The nation now needs honest, patriotic and competent leaders to save the country from the misrule of the BNP-Jamaat alliance government," said Badruddoza.

He said only a national government comprising honest and patriotic leaders can save the country and countrymen from the clinch of what he termed 'tyrant' BNP-Jamaat-led alliance government.

Seeking divine blessings, Badruddoza said, "O Allah, please save our country and countrymen from the misrule of the 'tyrant' alliance government and give us ability to oust it from the power and make the country free from all kinds of torture, repression and discrimination."

Bikalpa Jubo Dhara organised the party at BDB central office in the city.
