BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Tuesday that those responsible for mass killings during the Awami League's rule as well as the party's terrorists will never be accepted by the BNP.
“Our leaders and activists were given clear instructions — those who were involved in mass killings and terrorism will not be allowed into the BNP under any circumstances,” he said while distributing warm-clothes among the underprivileged at the Thakurgaon Press Club.
The only way to overcome corruption and fascism is to establish democracy and parliament formed by elected representatives is the sole institution that can safeguard democracy, said Fakhrul.
“People's governance must be established, and the country must be run by an elected parliament. There is no other solution. If democracy is ensured in all institutions, it will act as the strongest safeguard for the nation,” he added.
Fakhrul urged the government to expedite assistance for people suffering from severe cold in the northern region.
District BNP Finance Secretary Shariful Islam Sharif, Office Secretary Mamunur Rashid, Thakurgaon Press Club President Lutfur Rahman Mithu and leaders and activists of BNP’s associate bodies were present at the event.
