BNP central leader Aminul Haque alleged that a certain group is attempting to delay the national elections under the guise of "reform and justice." He also claimed that a newly emerged party is intentionally causing unrest and violence, trying to pin the blame on BNP. Speaking at a memorial rally in Mirpur, he asserted that people want a neutral and prompt election, not political theatrics. Haque called for press freedom and condemned ongoing bloodshed in the name of democracy. The event concluded with a silent procession.
