The BNP yesterday alleged that Bangladesh had turned into a “failed state” as the government “sold out itself” to global superpowers. "This government has been there in power illegally since it is not elected with people's vote. They have already turned Bangladesh into a failed state," said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. Speaking at a token hunger strike programme, he further said this government was working with a motive to build Bangladesh as a subservient country dependent on others.
