"Atrocities and persecution are being carried out against the Jatiyo Party," reads the statement, adding that numerous false cases have been filed against the partymen.
"They are being arrested and denied bail," the party chief alleged.
"Jatiyo Party offices, homes of leaders and activists, and business establishments are coming under attack," Quader said.
Regular political activities of the party, such as meetings, rallies, and processions, are met with obstruction, he also said.
