Mirza Fakhrul said, Bir Uttam Ziaur Rahman, the herald of great liberation war, was not only a brave freedom fighter and sector commander of the battlefield of 1971, but he was respected all over the world as a good ruler. He was a founder of multi-party democracy in our country.
"But the government has become reckless in the game of oppression and revenge to divert public attention by failing in all aspects of ruling the country," he added.
