BNP now stronger, united than before
The BNP is now stronger and more united than before, following the jailing of party Chairperson Khaleda Zia, party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said yesterday.
“They [the government] thought the BNP would split after the jailing of our leader [Khaleda]. We would like to confidently say that the BNP did not face split, but got stronger further,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, he said, “Our young leader and Senior Vice-chairman Tarique Rahman has taken the charge of party's acting chairman as per our constitution in absence of chairperson. We all have now become united and we are running the party under his leadership. The BNP is now more united and much stronger than before."
The BNP organised the programme at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, marking the Language Martyrs' Day and International Mother Language Day.
Mentioning that the nation is going through a critical time, Fakhrul said their party had not only been struggling for its own interest and freeing Khaleda, but also for protecting the country and its sovereignty and restoring democracy.
Hardly any BNP leader from its top to bottom is not facing political cases, he alleged, adding, “This situation can't continue in a democratic country. We must bring a positive change in it."
The BNP leader urged his party colleagues not to fall in the trap set by the government by refraining from responding to any provocation.
"We all will remain united and free our leader Khaleda Zia and restore democracy through a democratic movement," he said.
