The Bangladesh National Party (BNP) has spoken publicly for the first time against the interim government after a wave of disturbances and a security repression.
Police have arrested more than 1,500 people throughout the country since Saturday as part of the “Operation Hunt de Devil”, aimed at groups allegedly connected to Prime Minister Jeikh Hasina, who was shot down in a revolution led by students in August in August .
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, general secretary of BNP, met with the interim leader Mohammed Yunus on Monday night to “raise concerns about the incidents that have swept the country.”
The protesters broke buildings connected to the Hasina family using excavators, including a museum for their late father, the first president of Bangladesh, on February 5, six months until the day from the day he fled when multitudes assaulted his palace in Dhaka.
The police remained while the protesters set the building on fire.
“Everything happened in front of the agencies of application of the law, so the government cannot avoid its responsibility,” said Alamir.
These protests followed reports that Hasina, 77, who challenged an arrest warrant to face trial for crimes against humanity, would appear in a live broadcast from exile in India.
There were also clashes between anti-hahast protesters and members of their Awami League match.
The members of the discrimination protection group were attacked in the Dhaka de Gazipur district on Friday. To the group, whose members are now in the government cabinet, the generation of the lifting against Hasina is attributed.
The vocal and powerful group demanded action, which caused the security operation with mass arrests throughout the country.
“We have seen such units before,” said Alamir. “We warn the government that protects innocent civilians.”
Human Rights Watch warned last month that the police had “returned to abusive practices that characterized the previous government.”
Yunus, 84, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, warned against reprisals after the expulsion of Hasina.
“The sacrifices we made were aimed at ending injustices in all sectors,” Yunus said Monday night.
“If we get involved in the same type of actions as the fallen regime, there will be no difference between them and us,” he said.
