BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called upon the government to step down from power, shouldering the responsibility for killing people during the recent nationwide student movement over the quota issue.

“Visiting a hospital after injuring the students through shooting is nothing but crocodile tears. The assurance of assisting the victims is also another instance of deceiving people. Just shoulder responsibility for all these killings and step down from power immediately,” Fakhrul said, Daily Sun.

Earlier on Friday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) to see the injured victims during the countrywide destruction centering the quota reform movement.

The head of the government also enquired about the treatment of the injured people, several with severe injuries and assured them of extending all sorts of assistance to ensure their proper treatment.
