BNP Standing Committee member Professor Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain emphasized that there is no alternative to national unity to decisively resist autocracy in Bangladesh. Speaking as the chief guest at an emergency meeting in Dinajpur on Saturday, organized ahead of the 13th national election for the Dinajpur-3 constituency where BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is expected to contest, he criticized divisions within opposition ranks. Dr. Zahid expressed concern that some leaders are prioritizing personal agendas and authoritarian tendencies over public interest, suggesting possible involvement in domestic or foreign conspiracies. He noted that citizens are eager to vote and urged all political actors to respect the people’s mandate. Dr. Zahid also called on BNP activists to work unitedly to ensure Khaleda Zia’s victory in the upcoming election. The meeting was presided over by district BNP president Advocate Mofazzal Hossain Dulal and attended by several central and local leaders.
