"Democracy is the best system in the world yet," says Mirza Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today opined that despite having some shortcomings, still democracy is the best system in the world.

"Difference of opinion is the beauty of democracy...So, it has been emerged as a big challenge before us to protect democracy," he said while exchanging views with journalists at his Tantipara residence here.

In this connection, he urged all to spread the essence of multi-party democracy or pluralism across the country.

In the democracy, if any political party comes to power and behaves dictatorially, then the people remove them from power and Awami League is the best example of this, he said.

Mentioning the current political situation in the country " is very critical", he said if the people's voting rights are not ensured, democracy will be completely destroyed. "That's why BNP has always been advocating for necessary reforms for holding a free and fair election".
