BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has accused vested groups of trying to sabotage the upcoming 13th National Election. Speaking at the first National Representative Assembly of ethnic minority groups, he said, “Just as we fought together in 1971 for our territory, independence, and sovereignty, we will now unite and fight for our rights.”
He warned against extremist groups attempting to sow division through radical narratives. Fakhrul emphasized that after years of “a monstrous fascist regime,” the recent uprising has opened the door to building a new Bangladesh. He expressed confidence that under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, the nation can move forward with unity.
The event began with a captivating cultural performance by 15 young women in traditional attire. On behalf of Tarique Rahman, Fakhrul later distributed 26 sewing machines among women from plains communities.
