At a rally in Cox’s Bazar’s Golchattar field, BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed claimed that Sheikh Hasina “buried” the Awami League on August 5, 2024. He stated that the party met its political demise through a mass uprising, and its “burial” took place in Delhi. He further accused Sheikh Hasina of attempting to create instability by occasionally “speaking from the grave,” but asserted that such efforts would never succeed. Addressing the interim government, he urged them to announce an election roadmap promptly if they had sincere intentions. Salahuddin also called for urgent measures to stabilize law and order and control rising commodity prices.
