Unity must be maintained at any cost, so that the fallen tyrannical power cannot sit on our shoulders, said BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.

He said this while addressing the chief guest while virtually joining an Iftar mahfil in the capital on Saturday (March 22) evening. The Iftar mahfil was organized by a 12-party alliance.

Tarique Rahman said, there may be differences among our political parties, but if a problem arises, we will sit for discussions. Unity must be maintained at any cost, so that the fallen tyrannical power cannot sit on our shoulders. If the ideology is different, we are one for the country and the people of the country.

The BNP Acting Chairman said, the unity with which we bid farewell to tyranny, let us maintain unity at any cost. By maintaining unity, we will establish the democracy expected by the people.

He said, an emergent situation has been created; reforms and elections are being brought face to face. Democracy is about holding elections without fear. Yet it is being confronted with reforms. Many have said, 'There will be no elections before reforms'. Reforms are not over. This is an ongoing process.

2 years ago, ignoring the bloodshot eyes of dictatorship, we gave 31 points to repair the state structure. BNP's main goal is to work for the country and its people. Tarique Rahman said.

Under the chairmanship of Jatiya Party Chairman Mustafa Jamal Haider and moderated by Jatiya Party Chairman Ehsanul Huda, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar, Nagorik Oikya President Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Nagorik Party Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain, BNP Standing Committee Member Begum Selima Rahman, AB Party's Mujibur Rahman Manju, BLDP leader Shahadat Hossain Selim, JSD General Secretary Shahidul Islam Swapan were also present.

In addition, BNP Chairperson's Advisor Advocate Mahbub Uddin Khokon, NPP Chairman Dr. Fariduzzaman Farhad, Jagpa senior Rashed Pradhan, Jatiya Party Secretary General Ahsan Habib Lincoln, BNP Information and Research Secretary Riazuddin Nosu, Executive Committee member Abdus Sattar Patwary, among others.

There is no opportunity to make the Army Chief controversial. The tarnished image of the cantonment and the Army Chief will not be good for the nation, said BNP Joint Secretary General Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie.

He said these things as the chief guest at the introduction meeting and iftar mahfil of the newly formed committee of the Lakshmipur District Ulama Dal on Saturday (March 22) afternoon.

He said that it is good for the country not to make the Army Chief controversial. He is in his place; he will remain in his place. But some controversies are spreading. This controversy is not being resolved. He took responsibility for the country like us on August 5 and 6.

Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie said that a deep conspiracy is going on in the country. I suffered for 17 years, to escape from the hands of oppression and torture. I fought for the vote. Now a conspiracy is going on about that vote. I will not accept this conspiracy. It will not be accepted, no opportunity will be given. We have sweat, labor and blood. Lakhs of leaders and activists have been jailed, tortured and oppressed. Our real interest is to protect the country and build a beautiful Bangladesh. To reach that target, a strong foundation of democracy is needed.

He also said that a deep conspiracy is going on to destroy our democracy. If there is a democratic election, someone or the other will come to power and rule the country. As a party of the people, BNP can expect this. For natural reasons, some people will not like it. Those who have not liked it for so long have fled.

Under the chairmanship of District Ulama Dal Convener Shah Mohammad Emran and moderated by Member Secretary Maulana Nurul Alam, the special guests were District BNP Member Secretary Sahabuddin Sabu, Sadar (East) Upazila BNP Convener Main Uddin Chowdhury Riaz and District Swechcha Sevak Dal President Mohsin Kabir Swapan.

Recently, regarding the Awami League rehabilitation debate and the army, NCP chief organizer Hasnat Abdullah said, "We have full trust and faith in the army. We do not want to create hatred for any institution. However, I will tell the institution officials, you should fulfill your responsibilities. Leave politics to politicians. You should stay in the cantonment. The way you have interfered in the political field for the last 16 years will not happen again. Political parties will make political decisions in the next 24 hours."

He said this at a protest rally demanding the trial and ban of the genocidal and tyrannical Awami League organized in front of the Bangladesh National Museum at Shahbagh in the capital on Saturday (March 22).

Hasnat said the fall of the Awami League did not happen in the vote, but in a mass uprising. Everything will happen in Bangladesh, but it will be done by leaving the Awami League out. However, we do not want the Awami League to be banned by executive order. The crime committed by the Awami League must be ensured. Only then will they never be able to return to politics.

He said the Election Commission should cancel the registration of Awami League as soon as possible. Awami League is not a political party, but an extension of Indian power. They are playing the role of India. We cut that thread on the 5th.

General Secretary of the Gono Adhikar Parishad(GAP) Rashed Khan, has commented that the army is being made to face the people.

He made this comment at a stand and mass signature program demanding the Awami League to be banned and the genocide to be tried, organized by the GAP, Dhaka Metropolitan South, in front of the National Press Club on Saturday (March 22).

He said that those who are trying to make the army stand in front of the people and make it controversial basically want to bring back another 1/11. In fact, the political parties of this country will be the most affected by 1/11. In no way can another 1/11 be brought to Bangladesh.

Rashed Khan said that we have made several demands on behalf of the GAP.

They are - the genocide must be tried. Necessary state reforms must be made and an electoral roadmap must be announced. The people will not accept it if they make excuses about elections. The number one element of reforms is elections. When it comes to those elections, the advisors' faces turn black. They are greedy for power. They think that they will stay in power by doing anything. Fakhruddin-Moinuddin also tried to stay in power by doing anything. But, they could not. The people of the country have taught them the lesson they should have. Those who want to rehabilitate the Awami League, they learn by watching Fakhruddin-Moinuddin. They learnt from Sheikh Hasina.

Commenting that we do not know what many advisors of the interim government do, he said, we do not know whether they are actually doing official work. We do not even know the names of many. The Home Affairs Advisor has not yet been able to fix the law and order situation in the country.

Stating that no one can do politics in the name of AL in the country before the trial of the genocide, the General Secretary of the People's Rights Council said, how many good people were there among those who did the AL? What clean image do they have? We still said that we will not oppress those who were ordinary and innocent, who did not shoot directly at the students and the public. However, after the genocide trial, we will release and forgive them.

No matter how clean the image is before the genocide trial is over, no one will be able to do politics in the name of AL on the soil of Bengal. Those who come to rehabilitate Awami League, the people will resist them.

He said, if necessary, Jamuna (the residence of the chief advisor) will be surrounded demanding the ban of Awami League. Awami League will be forced to be banned.
