BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed declared that the death sentence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would be implemented, emphasizing that there is no place for dictatorship or fascism in Bangladesh. Speaking at a rally titled ‘Freedom Fighters and Generations Vigilant for Independence, Sovereignty and Democracy’ at the Central Shaheed Minar on Saturday, he accused the Awami League of being a mafia-fascist force operating under the guise of democracy. Salahuddin warned that failure to meet public aspirations could lead to the resurgence of fascist politics, urging all to uphold democratic practices. At the same event, BNP leader Ishraque Hossain alleged that Sheikh Hasina was using secret terrorists to obstruct elections and vowed that the Awami League would no longer be allowed to conduct politics in Bangladesh. The rally was presided over by Nationalist Freedom Fighters’ president Ishtiaq Aziz Ulfat and attended by several senior BNP leaders.
