BNP Chairperson’s Adviser Fazlur Rahman has expressed concern about whether he comes under attack by the enraged mob amid the evolving situation over his remarks against the July mass uprising.
Recalling the past 54 years of memories of the country’s War of Liberation, the BNP leader has asked the nation whether he has the right to live in this country.
Raising a question whether the globally condemned practice of “mob justice” could be carried out against him, Fazlur, also a lawyer of the Supreme Court, said if the answer is “no,” then he urged the people to protest against such acts.
He made the call while talking to reporters at the Supreme Court in Dhaka on Monday.
Earlier on Sunday, BNP served him a show-cause notice over “indecent and misleading remarks” he made about the July Uprising.
Meanwhile, a group of protesters staged a gathering in front of his Shegunbagicha residence, demanding his expulsion from BNP.
Voicing concern for the safety of himself and his family, he said, “O people of Bangladesh, I fought for you 54 years ago. Today, the very children who chant slogans against me, I fought for an independent country for you. Is an untimely death in your hands what I deserve?”
“If you think that I am speaking against the country or against your actions, then file a case against me, arrest me, or punish me. But to create a mob to kill me, even going as far as my own home — the same mob that over the past year has become one of the most notorious names in Bangladesh and the world — can this mob justice be carried out against me and will it be? I want to ask the people of Bangladesh this question,” he said.
