BNP leader and former MP Hasan Uddin Sarkar said Bangladesh’s final battle with Pakistan ended in 1971, but India remains a constant threat to the nation’s sovereignty. Speaking at the party’s 47th founding anniversary rally in Gazipur, he accused Awami League of serving India’s interests and warned of repeated struggles against Indian dominance. Thousands joined the colorful BNP procession, which turned into a festive gathering with music and dance after years of political restrictions.
