Criticizing the increase in electricity prices, BNP Vice Chairman Barkat Ullah Bulu said, "The electricity price increase must be withdrawn. Otherwise, the electricity bills will be stopped along with the people. I will not pay the electricity bills."
He made these remarks at a human chain organized in front of the National Press Club on Friday. The Democratic Forum organized the human chain to protest against the property attachment order against BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Dr. Zubaida Rahman.
Referring to the confiscation of the deposit of the boat candidate in the Rangpur city election, Bulu said, "The people of Bangladesh do not want to see vote thieves anymore. If the election is fair, the Awami League will not get even 30 seats. That is why people are trying to divert their attention by filing cases."
Addressing the Awami League, Bulu said, "In 2018, you were illegally in power by voting during the day and at night. Today, you are riding on the back of a tiger. There is a way to get off the tiger's back. Apologize for the indecency you have done to Khaleda Zia, the injustice you have done to her family, and create a political situation in Bangladesh. Resign and hand over power to the caretaker government and arrange for a free, impartial and fair election in the country. Protect the sovereignty of the country's independence."
BNP executive committee member Abu Naser Muhammad Rahmatullah and many others spoke at the human chain, chaired by the organization's convener Khalilur Rahman VP Ibrahim.
