BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir emphasized that blaming BNP for opposing reforms undermines national unity. He highlighted that BNP has long advocated for state reforms, announcing 31 demands earlier. Fakhrul stated that the autocratic rule of Sheikh Hasina fleeing opens a chance to build a democratic Bangladesh.
