He also criticised the information minister for his remark that the government needs to rethink about taking Khaleda back to jail, saying the minister issued such a threat as BNP is raising voice in favour of people at this difficult time of the country.

Prince alleged that law enforcers keep arresting BNP leaders and activists in different districts, including Chattogram, Mymensingh, Kishoreganj, and Bagerhat, amid the countrywide strict lockdown.

He alleged that the government is not providing necessary relief assistance to the poor and urged the government to ensure adequate food and financial assistance for those affected by the lockdown.

Refuting the ruling party leader’s comment that many BNP leaders are trying to join Awami League, he said AL is now a “sinking” ship.

“No one wants to get on a sinking ship. Those who are its passengers are making such comments to hide their failures. You’d see in future how many people are jumping off that sinking ship to save themselves.”
