BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stated that Bangladesh can never be safe in the hands of those who opposed the 1971 Liberation War. He made the remark on Saturday, January 31, during an election campaign event at Paschim Akcha in Thakurgaon-1 constituency. Addressing voters, he criticized a rival party with the symbol of scales, accusing it of not supporting the war and committing atrocities during that time.

Fakhrul urged voters to remain vigilant, warning them not to share mobile payment numbers or believe false promises about religious rewards for voting. He said the country's economy and banking sector had suffered over the past 15–16 years and called for electing honest leaders to recover looted funds and ensure development. Highlighting his own integrity, he said this would be his last election and asked for votes for the BNP’s paddy sheaf symbol.

He also cited BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman’s pledges, including waiving agricultural loans up to 10,000 taka, freeing mothers from NGO debt, introducing family and agriculture cards, and creating one million jobs for educated youth within 18 months if the party comes to power.
