BNP leader Rumeen Farhana said the fight for democratic rights is far from over. “We have yet to ensure people’s right to vote,” she stated, adding that those who became eligible voters 15 years ago have still not had the opportunity to cast their ballots. Emphasizing BNP’s commitment to democracy, she criticized attempts to delegitimize the party’s calls for elections. She also warned against internal party politics aimed at undermining activists, saying, “The people know who protested, who took to the streets, and who spoke up on talk shows despite threats.”
