Former State Minister for Home Affairs and BNP leader Lutfozzaman Babar has called for restraint and adherence to diplomatic etiquette amid heightened patriotic activities. In a Facebook post on December 18, 2025, Babar expressed concern that some young people, driven by emotion and limited understanding of geopolitics, had used his name in an unwanted program. He emphasized that patriotism is admirable but should not violate political or diplomatic norms.

Babar’s statement comes at a time of political sensitivity in Bangladesh, with national stability and the upcoming election process under scrutiny. His appeal for calm and responsibility reflects broader concerns about maintaining peace and order amid rising nationalist sentiment and street mobilizations. Political observers note that such remarks aim to prevent further polarization and ensure that patriotic expressions remain within lawful and diplomatic boundaries.

The post has drawn attention within political circles, highlighting the tension between emotional nationalism and responsible civic behavior ahead of the polls.
