Addressing Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus, opposition leader Shamsuzzaman Dudu criticized the government, citing rising incidents of child abuse and street violence.

He questioned, “Was a mass uprising carried out for this? If you can’t handle it, step down.”

Dudu alleged that since taking office, Dr. Yunus has swiftly withdrawn legal cases against himself. “No mass movement led to his cases; I won’t go into why they were filed. But they were withdrawn quickly,” he claimed.

Regarding former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he argued, “Her trial could have been completed within six months. Young people are saying there will be no election before justice is served. If trials don’t happen, does that mean elections won’t happen either?”

He asserted that a one-year trial process could be concluded in just three months.

A Jashore court on Monday acquitted BNP’s acting chairman, Tarique Rahman, in a treason case. The case accused him of making derogatory and defamatory remarks against Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, which were deemed seditious.

Following a court order, Jashore Kotwali police investigated the matter and later filed a charge sheet against Tarique Rahman. However, after a nine-year-long legal battle, the court found no substantial evidence to prove the allegations, leading to his acquittal.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has approved charge sheets against Sheikh Hasina and her family members in six cases related to land fraud in the eastern region. On Monday, a three-member ACC panel, led by Chairman Abdul Momen, authorized the charge sheets for submission to the court.

The charge sheet also includes former State Minister for Housing and Public Works Sharif Ahmed and Hasina’s former APS Mohammad Salauddin.

BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has claimed that the interim government takes BNP’s allegations personally. Speaking at a Women’s Party protest, Rizvi alleged that the government, in some cases, seeks revenge. He also accused the administration of failing to control rising sexual violence, stating, "Women have been victims of oppression since Sheikh Hasina’s tenure. Now that Chhatra League and Jubo League are not active, who is responsible for these crimes?" Rizvi criticized students’ involvement in administrative affairs instead of focusing on education.

Chhatra Dal General Secretary Nasir Uddin has stated that the student wing of BNP has no significant sources of income. "If there is no income, then the question of financial sources is not very relevant," he said in response to recent debates between Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir over funding sources. He mentioned that Chhatra Dal’s activities are supported by former leaders, businesspersons, and expatriates. He also emphasized that Chhatra Dal is a BNP-affiliated organization and receives some financial participation from BNP for joint programs.

He was a close associate of former MP Dr. Abu Reza Muhammad Nezamuddin Nadvi and built his wealth through illegal sand extraction, brick kiln operations, land grabbing, and even murder.

Local sources claim that after Manik went into hiding following the events of August 5, his assets—including brick kilns and forest land—were looted, amounting to an estimated Tk 500 million. Allegations have surfaced that the looting was led by the slain Jamaat activists Nezam Uddin and Abu Saleh.

The family claims that on June 20, 2010, Alam was attacked by individuals identifying themselves as RAB officers while returning from United Hospital in Gulshan. Local residents captured a man named Billal, allegedly a member of RAB-1, and handed him over to Gulshan Police Station.

The sanctions target seven individuals and several organizations allegedly linked to arms production and the supply of weapons to Russia for use in the Ukraine war.

He further argued that the sanctions contradict the UN Charter and international trade regulations.

Despite informing him of her police duty, the leader detained the rickshaw due to traffic congestion.

The suspect has been identified as a driver of a local BNP leader.

Khan emphasized BNP’s commitment to honesty and democracy, rejecting the politics of corruption, oppression, and misrule. He also called for immediate national elections.
