BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman said that those spreading false claims about ID hacking cannot be friends of the people. He made the remarks on Monday afternoon during an election rally in Jashore, asserting that no qualitative change has occurred in politics since August 5. Rahman alleged that a political party used the excuse of ID hacking to deflect criticism, while experts have confirmed that such hacking was not possible. He accused the party of exposing its true character by misleading the public before the election.

Rahman further criticized the same group for allegedly demeaning half of the country’s population and attempting to confine women to their homes. Earlier in Khulna, he reminded that Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) wife, Khadijah (RA), was a successful businesswoman, emphasizing that no one has the right to insult women’s professional roles.

The BNP leader reiterated his party’s commitment to protecting women’s rights and dignity, linking it to broader political integrity and accountability.
