BNP is a terrorist group in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is currently moving towards peace and prosperity. But Bangladesh is likely to fall behind due to this activity of BNP. Police are doing a good job here

Thanks for publish the truth. ❤ .
Hates of bd police
We want free fair election
স্বৈরাচার ফ্যাসিবাদ হাসিনার পতন চাই
95% want voting rights
killer hasina
Police were literally checking civilians personal mobile phone to see whether he/she is supporting the opposition or the ruling. BNP supporters were sent to jail or beaten up by hammer and iron rods by the goons of the Awami league infront of the police. This is completely absurd. Awami league is turing this country as the Kims regime.
We want a free and fair election but Hasina , her administration including Police ,RAB and some “Oligarch” is helping her in every aspects to save their regimes. They set fire on public busses and put the allegations on the opposition to file cases and sent thousands of people to jail.
99% of the Bangladeshi media and journalists is under the so called hasina’s oligarch and they don’t publish the truth …things have gone way out of hand and as a common person of the country we are suffering
Sheikh Hasina is the second Hitlar of the world
Votes in Bangladesh are cast by the police
Sheikha Hasina portrays clerics as militants, terrorists and extremists to the world
We want caretaker government
Step down hasina
বাংলাদেশ পুলিশ এখন আওয়ামী লীগের একটা সংগঠন হিসাবে কাজ করছে বাংলাদেশের সাধারণ মানুষ এই পুলিশের হাত থেকে বাচতে চাই
Here the protesters making chaos and breaking public vehicles without any reason by the name of protest and we know that this is not the way of protest and the police trying to handle the situation and protect the people’s properties.
We want Democracy, We want Justice, We want our human rights and voting rights, We want freedom of our speech and We want free fair election under the neutral caretaker government. Thanks to Aljazeera for the truth news. 🇧🇩🙏
We need actual voting rights in Bangladesh under caretaker government. Or UNO
We Bangladeshi want our voting rights back,we want fair election
Save Bangladesh from Awami League terrorist group🥺
বাংলাদেশে আল জাজিরা টি ভি খুলে
দেয়া হোক । ইসলামিক টি ভি এবং দিগনত
টি ভি খোলা হোক ।
🙏 Please 🙏
