BNP Standing Committee member and former Commerce Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury stated that no foreign power has the opportunity to control Bangladesh. He made the remark on Saturday at a public rally held at Fatikchhari Government College field in Chattogram, organized in support of BNP candidate Sarwar Alamgir for the Chattogram-2 (Fatikchhari) constituency. Khasru emphasized that the upcoming election is crucial for restoring democracy and ensuring a government accountable to the people.

He said that a truly elected parliament is necessary to return ownership of the country to its citizens. Khasru urged voters to secure a decisive victory on the 12th to send a message of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect in politics. He added that Bangladeshis aspire to improve living standards, create employment, and build an educated and talented nation. He reiterated that Bangladesh’s people have always trusted the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) during difficult times and continue to place their confidence in Tarique Rahman, Begum Khaleda Zia, and the late President Ziaur Rahman.

Khasru called on supporters to fulfill this public expectation collectively through a strong electoral mandate.
