BNP leader Major (Retd.) Hafizuddin Ahmed has dismissed the Nationalist Citizen Party (NCP) as too young to comment on BNP's senior leadership. “They are the age of our sons and grandsons,” he said, adding that BNP holds no grudge against any political group. “We have fought for democracy, a cause for which Shaheed Abu Sayeed sacrificed his life.” Hafiz criticized smaller parties for delivering "big speeches" without real public support and accused some of quickly succumbing to corruption. He emphasized that Chief Advisor is in favor of holding elections, though some advisors are allegedly misleading him. Urging party unity, Hafiz affirmed, “A united BNP will form the next government.”
