Cases being filed randomly, conduct primary verification first: Fakhrul to law enforcement agencies
Fakhrul also alleged that a concerted negative campaign against the party is underway
Noting that many cases are now being filed randomly, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today (28 August) requested the law enforcement agencies to conduct primary verification first before accepting these cases.
"I think this practice needs to be stopped completely. The way cases are being lodged will not consolidate this revolution," he said, urging his party leaders and activists not to file any cases that lack merit.
Speaking at a press conference at the BNP Chairperson's Gulshan office, the BNP leader said they came to know that cases are being filed against the deputy commissioners of districts.

"It [filing cases against them] is not a right thing," he said.
About the minority issue, Fakhrul said many campaigns are being carried out from abroad, especially from India, in a bid to undermine the revolution in Bangladesh.
"They want to make some political issues as communal issues, which is unacceptable," he said.
Fakhrul also alleged that a concerted negative campaign against the party is underway and he recalled past efforts to eliminate the party as part of a depoliticisation move following the 1/11 political changeover in 2007.
He also called upon all political parties not to make any statements that could create division among the people.
