The government has failed in all sectors, he alleged and demanded mid-term polls.

He was addressing public meetings at Ratonkhandi and Shimato Bazar in the district, organised by AL.

Killings, specially political ones, increased since takeover by the four-party alliance government. It has miserably failed to ensure security of life to people.

"They (ruling party leaders) speak against terrorism at public meetings but shelter criminals and terrorists. How can they improve law and order?"

The recent killing of Khulna Awami League leader Monjurul Imam is the proof, Nasim said.

Outlaws, contained during Awami League rule, have surfaced again under the present government, he claimed.

Presided over by Awami League leader Sha Alam, the meeting was addressed by, among others, Abu Yusuf, KM Hossen Ali, Ajhar Ali Khan and other local party leaders.

Nasim said anarchy is prevailing in the country as the government has established autocracy in the name of democracy.

The police force and the administration have been politicised.

Gram Sarkar is being formed to cling to power. Creation of Gram Sarkar will neutralise local bodies and create chaos at the grassroots level, he said.

Rule of law will not be established till execution of the verdict in the Bangabandhu murder case, he said and demanded immediate execution of the verdict.

The local AL leaders alleged that erosion by the Jamuna river has washed away miles of embankments and displaced thousands of families as the present government failed to repair those.

Ruling party leaders in connivance with a section of officials have misappropriated funds allotted for maintenance of these embankments, they alleged.
