Removing current govt BNP’s only goal Says Mirza Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said the fall of the Awami League government is now the only goal of BNP.

"The absolute reality is that now a terrible fascist and monstrous regime is destroying everything we have. Our only goal now is to resist and defeat them [govt]," he said.

Fakhrul was speaking at a discussion marking national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam's 46th death anniversary, titled  "The Politics of Nazrul-the politics of Bangladesh" and organised by Jatiyatabadi Sangskritik Foundation at Jatiya Press Club.

Describing Nazrul as a poet of world humanity, Fakhrul said his poetry has always inspired the exploited and oppressed to wake up.

"Nazrul's work is now being ignored in the country. His poems and essays are not included in the curriculum of Bangla literature," he said.
