BNP leader Shamsuzzaman Dudu expressed regret over some “bad elements” within their ranks causing damage to the party through their misconduct. He emphasized that the BNP has a clear stance: extortionists and occupiers are not part of the BNP, nor are those who harm Bangladesh. He urged authorities to apprehend such individuals and hand them over to the law. Dudu also criticized the ruling party’s allegations against BNP leaders, pointing out contradictions. He mentioned repeated accusations that BNP members embezzled orphan funds, contrasting this with claims that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laundered bank money abroad. He highlighted recent political tensions with India, condemning visa restrictions and border violence against Bangladeshis, and questioned the PM’s visit to India amidst these issues. He reiterated BNP’s identity as a party of the Liberation War, independence, and democracy, following the legacy of Shaheed Zia, who taught the politics of love, protection of people, and safeguarding the nation’s freedom.
