Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that mob violence has divided the nation, urging unity and restraint during a time of political uncertainty. His remarks were shared Friday afternoon through the BNP’s verified Facebook page, quoting him in a photo message condemning recent incidents of mob unrest.

Earlier the same day, Fakhrul issued another statement denouncing mob attacks and warning against those who exploit national crises for personal or political gain. He described such actors as enemies of the country, emphasizing that opportunism during national hardship worsens division and instability.

The comments come amid heightened political tension and sporadic violence across Bangladesh, with opposition parties calling for justice and fair elections. Analysts say Fakhrul’s statement reflects growing concern over social polarization and the need for political dialogue to prevent further unrest.
