On Friday (10 November), BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi asserted that Bangladesh is now under a 'brutal' one-party rule like North Korea.
"Bangladesh is now a brutal one-party country...that kind of one-party rule is going on here. There's now no difference between Bangladesh and (North) Korea," he said.
Speaking at a virtual press briefing, the BNP leader also said expressing freedom of expression in Bangladesh means inviting the danger of disappearing or getting killed.
He said the body of a Jubo Dal leader was found a couple of days after law enforcers had picked him up. "This is now the scenario of Bangladesh."
The BNP leader said the government has continued arresting opposition leaders and workers and implicating them in different cases.
Rizvi said law enforcers are raiding the houses of BNP leaders and workers and misbehaving with their family members and harassing them.
He claimed that more than 206 BNP leaders and activists were arrested in the last 24 hours as of 6.30 pm on Friday.
