BNP Whip and Natore-2 Member of Parliament Advocate M Ruhul Kudduz Talukder Dulu stated that the ideals of the party’s founder, martyred President Ziaur Rahman, remain powerful even after his death. He said this on Saturday afternoon while addressing a discussion and prayer meeting organized by the Natore District BNP to mark the 45th martyrdom anniversary of Ziaur Rahman.

Dulu remarked that those who killed Ziaur Rahman 45 years ago thought they could erase the BNP, but history shows the party has become one of Bangladesh’s largest political organizations. He added that the BNP has been elected to state power by people across the country and continues to work for national development under the leadership of Tarique Zia, son of Ziaur Rahman and Begum Khaleda Zia.

The event, held at the Natore District Council auditorium, was presided over by Abdul Aziz MP and conducted by Asaduzzaman Asad. State Minister for Social Welfare and Natore-1 MP Barrister Farzana Sharmin Putul spoke as the chief discussant, along with several other district BNP leaders.
