BNP Secretary General and Local Government Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that several political parties are attempting to create unrest in the country over the July Charter. Speaking at an Easter Sunday greetings event at the Archbishops House in Ramna, Dhaka, he said the BNP will fully implement the commitments made in the charter. He added that the party has long struggled for people’s aspirations and has already outlined a 31-point reform plan.

Fakhrul emphasized that the BNP seeks peace and aims to build a humane, non-communal, and democratic Bangladesh. He said the country has entered a new era after completing an election in a free and democratic environment, creating an opportunity to realize the spirit of the 1971 Liberation War. He warned that some political forces are using religion to divide society and reject the ideals of the Liberation War.

Addressing the ongoing energy crisis, Fakhrul said the government is trying to import fuel despite global challenges, and that there is sufficient stock, though some people are panic-buying fuel.
