Dhaka, July 17 -- BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed on Thursday alleged that "mobocracy" instead of the craved-for democracy, is reigning in the country.

"Now we're witnessing that a reign of mobocracy is prevailing all over Bangladesh. We wanted democracy but it is becoming mobocracy," he said, adding the July student mass uprising was organised for democracy.

The BNP leader made the remarks at a rally held in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office in the capital following a procession organised by Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal to protest the deterioration of law and order due to what he described as government indifference.
