BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury criticized the proposed budget for FY 2025-26, calling it a continuation of the previous government's approach.

BNP will officially respond to the budget on June 4. Khasru emphasized that budgets based on real revenue allow for more liquidity in the private sector, boost investment, reduce interest rates, and lower dependency on foreign loans.

Regarding the potential resignation of the Chief Adviser, Haque remarked, "He is a highly respected figure both at home and abroad.

He warned that the public will not tolerate any conspiracies surrounding the upcoming election.

Muhammad Rezaul Karim, Amir of Islami Andolan Bangladesh and widely known as the Pir of Charmonai, emphasized the importance of the second phase of political dialogue on state reform, initiated by the National Consensus Commission. He urged for open and transparent discussions on the progress, roadmap, and challenges of the reform process. “The current government isn’t a neutral caretaker regime like those of the past — it was formed on the blood of thousands,” he stated.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against former minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, accusing him of amassing illegal wealth worth over Tk 35 crore and conducting suspicious transactions exceeding Tk 100 crore.

Mosharraf Hossain was elected MP three times under the Awami League banner.

JAGPA spokesperson Rashed Pradhan claimed that under pressure from New Delhi, the Hasina administration had previously revoked the registrations of Jamaat-e-Islami and JAGPA due to their stance against Indian hegemony. Now, following JAGPA’s reinstatement, Jamaat’s registration has also been restored — a move Pradhan describes as a significant democratic milestone. He alleged that India continues to destabilize Bangladesh through border killings, illegal push-ins, and even drone intrusions. “Trained operatives from India’s RAW agency are also being sent into the country,” he warned. Pradhan said this registration victory signals the beginning of a post-Hasina era in Bangladesh and serves as a clear message to India. He also paid tribute to journalist Manik Miah on his death anniversary, acknowledging his role in resisting Ayub Khan’s regime and advancing Bengali national identity during the 1960s.

Gazipur BNP convener Fazlul Haque Milon has criticized the government’s approach to elections, saying that true development cannot be achieved through mere pageantry.

"The people want to see Ziaur Rahman's vision of a welfare state fulfilled by voting for the paddy sheaf symbol," Milon stated. He denounced past one-sided elections under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and said BNP activists must reach out to the people to implement Tarique Rahman's 31-point reform plan.

Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, Chief Coordinator of the BNP's Labour Wing, stated that the party would not tolerate anyone involved in terrorism or extortion. Speaking at a relief distribution event, he emphasized that the ideals of Ziaur Rahman are rooted in patriotism, honesty, and selfless service to the nation. "Those who cause suffering to people damage the party’s image and have no place in BNP," he said. He urged party members with criminal allegations to dissociate from him immediately.
