Former state minister and BNP leader Lutfozzaman Babar has warned that “dark clouds” continue to loom over the country’s political landscape, claiming that various conspiracies remain active. Speaking via video conference on Saturday at a Mohanganj Municipal BNP gathering in Netrokona, he said the upcoming verdict in Sheikh Hasina’s first case could trigger attempts to disrupt either the judgment or the election. According to him, the ruling Awami League, a neighboring global power, and several political groups are allegedly involved in such efforts. Babar stated that although the government speaks of neutrality, some advisers are showing clear bias. He urged BNP leaders and activists not to miss any potential political opportunity ahead, emphasizing strict adherence to discipline. He reminded party members that gaining power is uncertain, but hope must be maintained, and actions must remain lawful and ethical. Addressing the youth, Babar highlighted the importance of technological and technical skills for surviving in today’s competitive era, encouraging them to study attentively and advance through merit.
