Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson for the Inqilab Manch, stated that if the BNP continues with its outdated political style, it won’t last more than two years in power—even if it wins all 300 parliamentary seats. Speaking at a press conference protesting the recent fatal attack on a businessman in Old Dhaka, Hadi warned that the public is no longer passive: “People have learned to retaliate. If you hurl insults, they’ll respond with stronger words. If you pass anti-people laws in Parliament, people may storm the Parliament themselves without fearing for their lives.”
He urged the BNP to stand firmly behind the July Declaration and the Constitution, cautioning that failure to do so would relegate them to the same fate as the Muslim League and Awami League.
