BNP’s Dhaka divisional organizing secretary and Gazipur-1 nomination aspirant Kazi Saiyedul Alam Babul stated that after 16 years of being deprived of voting rights, the people of Bangladesh are eager to cast their votes in a festive atmosphere. Speaking at a street rally in Konabari, Gazipur, after distributing leaflets outlining BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman’s 31-point reform plan, Babul claimed that the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s authoritarian government has opened the door for democratic restoration. He accused Awami League loyalists of attempting to create instability and obstruct the election but warned that citizens would resist any such efforts. Babul emphasized that implementing the 31 points would restore fundamental rights and peace in the country. He urged voters to support BNP’s symbol, the paddy sheaf, for the leadership of Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman. The event was attended by several local BNP and affiliated organization leaders.
