At a rally in Nayapaltan, BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed clarified that the party had only demanded a roadmap for elections in December, not the resignation of any officials. “The people of Bangladesh have witnessed a theatrical resignation,” he said. He warned that speaking for democratic rights must not be criminalized. Salahuddin emphasized the party’s commitment to building a youth-driven, democratic state and warned against attempts to fracture opposition unity.
