Dhaka, March 19 -- Issuing a warning that extremists and fascists could once again bury democracy in Bangladesh, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Wednesday said his party, along with other democratic parties, will prioritise maintaining the country's secular character and strengthening democracy in their future political agenda.

"We would like to draw the attention of the interim government that if it fails to control the evil activities of religious extremists and their radicalism, extremist groups and defeated fascist forces will once again bury democracy in the country," he told at an iftar party.

The BNP leader also warned that Bangladesh could face a crisis in its image within the democratic world if this happens.
