At an Iftar gathering, BNP leader Mirza Abbas accused certain domestic and foreign groups of attempting to create a rift between BNP and sections of the religious community. He warned that such divisions could allow foreign forces to intervene and destabilize the country. Cautioning against new slogans like Inqilab Zindabad, he questioned their meaning, asking, “What does ‘Second Independence’ mean? What is the ‘Second Republic’?” Abbas reaffirmed BNP’s commitment to moving Bangladesh forward under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, expressing confidence in their unity and vision.
