Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has alleged that a group is maintaining secret contact with the ousted autocratic regime of August 5, 2024. He made the remarks on Saturday while inaugurating the re-excavation program of the historic Dhara Canal in Trishal, Mymensingh. Rahman said similarities exist between the group and those who were ousted, accusing them of plotting in secrecy. He urged citizens to remain alert against such conspiracies.

Referring to past events under the interim government, Rahman said BNP lawyers and doctors had supported affected families, unlike those now leading movements and blockades. He criticized groups spreading confusion and ignoring farmers, education, and rural development. The Prime Minister highlighted the canal’s importance for local livelihoods, noting that its re-excavation would benefit 4,300 farmers and improve life for about 20,000 people. He also announced initiatives for rural students, religious leaders, and youth employment through technical education.

Rahman emphasized unity for national development, urging collective effort to build infrastructure and utilize the workforce for Bangladesh’s progress.
