BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed has accused the ruling Awami League of having a long history of killings and corruption, urging citizens not to forget those events. Speaking on Friday at the Krishibid Institution in Dhaka during the sixth day of BNP’s ‘Nation-Building Plan’ program, he alleged that some political parties remain silent about the Awami League’s actions in hopes of securing electoral benefits.

Salahuddin criticized the use of the 1971 Liberation War spirit for political gain, saying such exploitation has ultimately failed. He described BNP’s 31-point reform agenda as the ‘essence of a national charter of liberation’ and claimed it has become a ‘national epic’. He also referenced a white paper alleging that Tk 29.25 trillion was laundered under the current government, blaming the Awami League for economic devastation.

The BNP leader emphasized that the upcoming 13th parliamentary election should be approached with planning rather than emotion, portraying the party’s movement as the culmination of 15 years of struggle. He warned that the nation must remember past violence and corruption to prevent history from repeating itself.
