BNP leader Mostafa Zaman claimed that aside from Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and Begum Khaleda Zia, all others pursued politics for personal gain. He credited Zia for securing the country's independence and Khaleda Zia for her fight to restore democracy.

He added that under Tareq Rahman’s leadership, a mass uprising is underway. Zaman criticized Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as an autocrat and accused her of nepotism — a practice he claims was avoided by Zia’s family. He warned that disciplinary actions would be taken against any BNP members aiding the ruling party’s alleged corruption or criminal activities.
