Population in census has been shown less to show more per capita income: Fakhrul

About the census which published on Wednesday, the BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the population in census has been shown less to show more per capita income.

He said where we count 18 crore people there they show 16 crore. Even they themselves admitted that these data of census is not correct. They did not go from house to house.”

Fakhrul made this comment at a press conference held at BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office on Thursday.

On July 18, BNP formed a five-member probe body, led by advocate Nitai Roy Chowdhury, to investigate into the communal violence held in Narail. The party arranged the press conference to unveil the investigation report of their probe committee.

Mentioning that minorities are never safe under Awami League government, the BNP secretary general said that attacks on various communities increase whenever Awami League comes to power.

Fakhrul said, “Lands of minorities had been grabbed by them (Awami Legaue). Most of these incidents were happened whenever Awami League came to power.”

“We think that communal attacks are being carried out due to lack of democracy. Awami League’s only aim is to drive people of different communities out of the country and loot their wealths.”
