BNP’s central sports affairs secretary and Dhaka North convenor, Aminul Haque, accused certain political groups of attempting to delay the upcoming national election, scheduled for February, under various pretexts. Speaking at a free medical camp organized by Pallabi and Rupnagar BNP units, he said such attempts undermine democracy and citizens’ rights. Haque harshly criticized Jamaat-e-Islami, likening its influence to smoking—harmful to religion. He claimed Jamaat exploits Islam for political gain, which threatens both faith and society. Citing a Jamaat leader’s recent controversial comment equating fasting and puja, Haque said such statements are unacceptable to the people of Bangladesh. Emphasizing BNP’s commitment to an inclusive, non-communal Bangladesh, he reaffirmed the party’s mission to ensure citizens’ welfare, education, health, and dignity. After the event, Haque joined a tree-planting program at the Urban Children’s Park in Bauniabad, accompanied by other BNP leaders from Dhaka North.
