DHAKA: Opposition BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir Saturday said any deception of the government would not be sustained amid the demonstration of the people,

The spokesperson for the party also said the periphery of existing 18-party alliance would expand in the future.

He came up with the assertion while talking to journalist after placing floral wreaths to graveyard of Zia along with other released BNP leaders in the morning.

Regarding ultimatum he said, “We want the government to be realized. If they fail to do so, they will be forced to meet all our demands including caretaker government system.”

The senior leader of the party alleged that the government aim to confine the opposition leaders turned futile as arresting once again the freed leaders from the jail gate is completely illegal.
