Dhaka, May 11 -- BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Awami League, claiming that the overwhelming majority of the country's population no longer wants to see the party return to power.
Speaking at a Youth Rally held on the Polo Ground in Chattogram, Fakhrul told a crowd of young activists and supporters that "eighteen crore people of the country do not want to see the Awami League."
