If govt fails to act, stability will be at risk: BNP

The BNP has expressed concern over the country's current situation, saying that stability could be at risk if the government fails to demonstrate its ability to control the emerging challenges.
"If the government cannot effectively manage the ongoing situation, the stability of both the state and the government will face serious threats," the party said in a press release last night.
Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi cautioned in the release that the current situation could lead to the resurgence of defeated fascists alongside extremist, anarchist, and anti-democratic forces, both domestic and foreign.
"The symptoms of such a resurgence are already visible," the press release added.
The BNP urged the interim government to take immediate and decisive action to bring the situation under control.
"Otherwise, anarchic conditions will spread across the country. It is now imperative to visibly demonstrate the role of the state and the government by strictly enforcing law and order," the statement read.
The party also criticised the interim government for its perceived failure to take effective and visible steps over the last six months to bring fugitive autocrats and their accomplices to face trial.
This failure has encouraged people to take the law into their own hands and engage in "illegal activities", said the press release.
"If the people take the law into their own hands while a government is in power, the government's image at home and abroad could be tarnished."
The BNP highlighted the growing trend of public unrest, with people from various professions and classes taking to the streets with diverse demands at any time, often resorting to what the party termed as "mob culture".
This, the BNP claimed, is causing public suffering, and the government has failed to demonstrate the necessary competence in addressing these issues through appropriate measures.
