"The game is on. We will play against the BNP's arson terrorists. The semi-finals are ahead, then the elections are the finals."
Addressing the BNP, the Awami League general secretary said, "Let's see who will stand by you from tomorrow. No one stays with the weak. Your leaders have fled, your workers too.
"Where is Fakhrul? Where is the BNP? Where did you go? The BNP's great journey is now a journey towards death."
He also said no one will get off scot-free after today's attacks on the chief justice's residence, as well as the death of a policeman during the clash with BNP men in Fakirapool intersection.
He also said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is currently in Chattogram while there has been such unrest in the capital.
Quoting the premier, he said, "Our leader [Sheikh Hasina] said let's see what they [BNP] do."
