BNP leader Aminul Haque has warned against extortion being carried out under the BNP name, allegedly by groups formerly affiliated with the Awami League. Speaking to business owners, he urged them not to pay any extortion money and promised strict action against imposters. Haque blamed the government's mismanagement and corruption for the country’s economic collapse. “If we come to power, reviving the economy will be a top priority,” he said. He also promised permanent marketplaces for small businesses if BNP is elected, and reiterated the party's commitment to building a humane and inclusive Bangladesh.
