BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has criticized extravagant election campaigns, stating, “We can clearly understand the intentions of those who take to the election campaign with a fleet of 100 cars.”
Yesterday, Sarjis Alam, the chief organiser of the northern region of the National Citizen Party (NCP), flew to Panchagarh via Saidpur and held street rallies in various upazilas of the border district with more than a hundred vehicles.
The BNP Secretary General made the remarks while presiding over a discussion in the city on the occasion of the 55th Independence Day.
BNP arranged the event at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) Auditorium.
Fakhrul Islam said BNP is with the people and will do in future as did in the past. “BNP will definitely be victorious, InshaAllah,” he said.
Addressing the leaders and activists, he said that the future of Bangladesh depends on them. “The future of democratic Bangladesh depends on you. The future of anti-discrimination Bangladesh depends on you,” he said.
Noting that there is no alternative to election, the BNP leader said election is the gateway to democracy. They think there is no other system except democracy that can bring welfare for the people, he said.
“But today a new conspiracy has started so that this process can be longer or delayed, someone else can be helped and anarchy can be created in the country,” he said.
Fakhrul said new so-called leaders (notun notun Qutub) have emerged on social media.
“I don't know where they want to take Bangladesh. Their language, words, sentences and statements want to take Bangladesh towards anarchy. They don't want to take it (Bangladesh) towards democracy. So, Today we have to be careful,” he said.
Citing that BNP has saved the country from crisis every time, he said that now a crisis has arisen again in the country. “Such a crisis has arisen today that attempts continue to make our patriotic army controversial, which we cannot accept at all,” he added.
The BNP secretary general said, “We can never allow those who protect our country, those who stand by us in a crisis, to be controversial.”
