Blasting the BNP-led four-party alliance government for the Phulbari killings, they said the police and BDR opened fire on the demonstrators at Phulbari in Dinajpur according to the blueprint of the alliance government.

"Mass killing at Phulbari was not an isolated incident. Khaleda-Nizami government orchestrated this killing to satisfy the Asia Energy, a US-based company, as leaders of the alliance government want to gobble up crores of money from the company," said AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil, while addressing a protest rally in front of the AL central office at Bangabandhu Avenue in the city.

He urged the people to strengthen movement against the government and cast votes for 14-party in the next general election for safeguarding the nation from the grip of the alliance government.

"BNP-Jamaat leaders became certain that they cannot come to power in the next general election and that's why ministers, legislators and leaders are now desperate to grab money from all sectors even by killing people," AL Joint Secretary Obaidul Kader.

Dhaka City unit of 14-party organised the rally protesting Phulbari killings.

Dhaka City AL General Secretary Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya presided over the rally where AL presidium members Amir Hossain Amu, Motia Chowdhury and other leaders of 14-party also spoke.

After the rally, they brought out a protest procession that marched different streets of the city.
