Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, Chief Coordinator of the BNP's Labour Wing, stated that the party would not tolerate anyone involved in terrorism or extortion. Speaking at a relief distribution event, he emphasized that the ideals of Ziaur Rahman are rooted in patriotism, honesty, and selfless service to the nation. "Those who cause suffering to people damage the party’s image and have no place in BNP," he said. He urged party members with criminal allegations to dissociate from him immediately.
