BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has stated that Bangladesh’s struggle to restore democracy is not yet over and called for unity among all political forces to ensure a free and fair election. Speaking at a discussion organized by Zia Parishad at the National Press Club, he emphasized that BNP and democracy are interdependent and one cannot sustain without the other. Khosru highlighted the historical role of Ziaur Rahman in the country’s independence, governance, and democratic reforms. He accused anti-democratic groups of conspiring to obstruct or delay elections to serve their own interests. According to him, the people of Bangladesh are waiting for a fair election expected in early February. He also criticized attempts to impose demands through coercion, urging all parties to present their agendas to the public through election manifestos rather than forceful means.
