‘Vaccination drive a complete mess’
BNP yesterday alleged that mismanagement centring the government's Covid-19 vaccination drive has jeopardised lives of the people.
"The vaccination campaign was a complete mess due to the government's failure to tackle the pandemic," said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He made the remarks while visiting the capital's Banani Graveyard to place wreaths and offer prayers at the grave of Arafat Rahman Koko, the youngest son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, marking his 52nd birth anniversary.
Fakhrul urged the government to collect adequate vaccines immediately, work sincerely for people and announce a roadmap to deal with the pandemic.
He alleged that the government has totally failed to manage Covid-19. "It shouldn't be in power any more for its ill-planned lockdown and mismanagement of the vaccination drive. This government should go right away."
The BNP secretary general paid tribute to Koko and recalled his role in the development of sports organisations and cricket.
