Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir called on the countrymen to join the party's movements.
"There is no time to sit at home," he said speaking as the chief guest at a gathering of the Dhaka Journalist Union at the National Press Club on Tuesday (19 September).
"The state is no longer a state, the state has become a factory of torture and oppression. The important pillars of the state are destroyed. Judges themselves have ended their independence," he added.
He also said that the country has been plunged into darkness.
"I don't know how to get out if we don't fight together," he added.
The BNP secretary general also said his partymen are being harassed with cases.
"Today the nation is being destroyed, the nation is in danger. National unity is needed," he further added.
