He said, common people are saying today, they can't anymore. Can't buy rice. Can't buy food. Wasser MD bought 14 houses in America. He has smuggled thousands of crores of rupees abroad. Action is not taken against them today. They looted all the banks. The government has built a kingdom of loot.

Mirza Fakhrul said, their goal is to control everything and re-establish one-party rule. We won't let that happen. We will free country leader Khaleda Zia. Our leader Deshanayak Tariq Rahman should be brought back to the country. Today the people have woken up. Representatives of civil society have woken up. The media is also playing a role.

He also said that even after arresting our activists, the December 10 mass rally in Dhaka could not be thwarted. People of the country including Dhaka have succeeded. Let us unite to build a livable country for the new generation with the aim of implementing the spirit of the 1971 Liberation War.
