power to the elected government for resolving the prevailing problems to 
bring order in the country.
 
"The law and order situation has deteriorated extremely, and the prices of 
daily necessities have gone beyond reach of the common man. Only the 
representatives elected by the people can handle this situation," he said. 
 
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a huge public rally 
organized by Rangpur District BNP at the city's Public Library Ground on 
Saturday afternoon. 
 
The district BNP organized the public rally with public demands like stopping 
delay in announcing a road map for early elections, taking effective measures 
to prevent extreme deterioration of law and order, bringing prices of daily 
necessities to a bearable level and confronting the conspiracy of fascism.
 
Presided over by district BNP convener Md Saiful Islam, its member-secretary 
Md Anisur Rahman Laku moderated the rally.

BNP's Rangpur divisional joint organizing secretary Md Abdul Khalek, BNP 
central executive committee member Sahida Rahman Joytsna, Kawnia upazila BNP 
president Emdadul Haque Bharasa, Mohila Dal central committee member Advocate 
Rezeka Sultana Fensi, District Jubo Dal president Nazmul Alam Naju, District 
Swechchasebak Dal convener Al Imran Sujan, District Sramik Dal member 
secretary Shamim Mia, District Chhatra Dal convener Sharif Newaz Joha, 
Pirgachha upazila BNP President Aminul Islam Ranga, Badarganj upazila BNP 
President Professor Paritosh Chakraborty, among others, addressed the rally.
 
Expressing strong anger over the extreme deterioration of the law and order 
situation in the country under the interim government, BNP Chairperson's 
Adviser Abul Khair Bhuiyan said, murders, kidnappings are rampant in the 
country.
 
"People do not have minimum security. Extreme unrest is going on in the 
country.

 This government has completely failed," he said, adding that BNP demands 
early parliamentary elections for this reason. 
 

Abul Khair Bhuiyan said that Hasina did not fall in the July-August movement 
alone. At the end of a long-standing movement, the anti-discrimination 
student movement, the general public and the BNP brought about Hasina's 
downfall. 
 
"It's architect was BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman. All political parties 
admit this. However, now some people are opposing this for their own 
interests," he said.
 
He said that fascist Hasina has embezzled the money of the people, killed 
innocent people, enforced disappearance and created a mirror house. 
 
"Fascist Hasina tried to turn the country into a dependent state by selling 
the interests, independence and sovereignty of the people of the country. She 
has left nothing but selling the flag of Bangladesh," he said.

He said, "Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman declared the country's independence, 
waged the liberation war, and we have to protect our independence and 
sovereignty."
 
"After Major Ziaur Rahman declared independence, the Liberation War 
officially began in the country, which is internationally recognized," he 
said.
 
Earlier, thousands of leaders and activists of BNP and its associate bodies 
from different upazilas and unions had come to the rally venue chanting 
various slogans in separate processions since noon surrounding the rally.
