Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday urged all to stay alert, warning that conspiracies are underway to once again plunge Bangladesh into new dangers.
“All of you need to remain alert and strengthen the party. The danger is not over yet. New dangers are likely to emerge,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, Mirza Fakhrul said attempts are being made to undermine and destroy democracy once again.
Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal arranged the discussion at the Jatiya Press Club to mark National Revolution and Solidarity Day on November 7.
The senior leader of the party said Sheikh Hasina, during her 16 years of autocratic rule, brutally repressed BNP leaders and activists, including those from Mohila Dal.
"Hasina used to speak arrogantly while illegally remaining in power. She caused deaths to many people, including students. But we were freed on August 5 by ousting that dreadful monster. It is a fact that Hasina fled the country in the face of a mass uprising," Fakhrul said.
He said the nation is going through a critical time, despite the ousting of the autocratic regime.
"We must proceed very carefully in this challenging situation."
Fakhrul also called upon the interim government to hold the national election after swiftly implementing necessary state reforms.
