The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has alleged that the recent wave of violent attacks, including the killing of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Osman Sharif, is part of a conspiracy to destabilize the country and derail the upcoming national election. Following an emergency meeting at the party chairperson’s office in Gulshan, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir condemned the killing and urged the government to immediately arrest and prosecute those responsible.

Alamgir also denounced subsequent attacks on newspaper offices, journalists, and cultural institutions, describing them as deliberate attempts to push the country into chaos. He accused a 'well-known group' of trying to reintroduce fascism under the government’s watch, while criticizing authorities for failing to maintain order. The BNP called for unity among all democratic and anti-anarchy forces to resist such conspiracies.

Political analysts note that the incident and BNP’s strong rhetoric could heighten political tensions ahead of the election. The government has yet to issue a detailed response, though pressure is mounting domestically and internationally for accountability and stability.
