Former state minister and BNP candidate for Netrokona-4, Lutfuzzaman Babar, stated that the events of 1971 and 2024 cannot be compared. He made the remark on Saturday afternoon at a public meeting held at Tahura Amin Pilot Government School field in Madan municipality, Netrokona. Babar said he never thought he would be able to join an election campaign again and emphasized that the nation must remember both the independence of 1971 and July 2024 separately.

Babar urged people not to politicize the years 1971 and 2024, expressing pride in the national flag. He mentioned that his political leader had spent 17 years in exile and had a plan to implement if brought to power through electoral victory. He said the plan included introducing family and agriculture cards. Babar criticized another political group for reacting negatively to these proposals.

He further highlighted the importance of strengthening the country's economic capacity, developing skilled citizens, and sending youth abroad to achieve self-sufficiency.
