Commenting that there is a conspiracy again, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has called on everyone to remain united. He said that BNP is being put on a media trial like 1/11. Propaganda is being spread against the party, so now the cooperation of online comrades is needed.
He made this allegation while speaking as the chief guest at a prayer and iftar mahfil in honor of nationalist online activists at a hotel in the capital on Monday (March 17).
The program was organized under the supervision of BNP Publicity Secretary Sultan Salahuddin Tuku. A documentary on 31 points was presented in it.
The BNP Acting Chairman said, if there is a transparent and fair election in the future, the more the BNP's support for the votes of the majority of the people of Bangladesh has become brighter, the more I see that BNP is being put on a media trial. On Monday morning, I saw some incidents in some newspapers in Bangladesh, after seeing them, I took the news to the central office (BNP central office in Nayapaltan). They told me that the incident happened in one way, but it was presented in the newspaper in another way.
He also said that a group or those who have conspired against the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the nationalist forces, and at the same time against the independence and sovereignty of the country; from their position and through the media houses that have relations with them, they are trying to create a similar scenario as the BNP was faced with a media trial during 1/11.
Tarique Rahman also said that the conspiracy that was against the people of the country, the foundation of democracy and the country has started again. This is not just talk. Such an incident is developing day by day. Such a conspiracy is slowly developing against the existence, sovereignty, democracy and nationalist forces of Bangladesh.
Tarique Rahman also said that BNP will support an election in which the people can express their opinion by voting. He also commented that since the dictatorship period until now, there has been no government accountable to the people in Bangladesh.
The acting chairman of BNP further said, a speaker here talked about new elections, what are their thoughts? We still don't know these correctly. I think, I believe that you (online activists) are able to motivate new voters by providing them with all the arguments and facts.
Addressing the online activists, he said, since the dictatorship was oppressing the people and democracy in Bangladesh, you have organized and highlighted the people and opposition leaders and activists - the war you have waged, due to which you also had to go through various atrocities and torture. I sincerely thank you for the situation you have faced.
The event, chaired by Sultan Salahuddin Tuku, was attended by party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed, Acting Chairman's Adviser Dr. Mahdi Amin, Joint Secretary General Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie and online activists.
