The U.S. House of Representatives has dismissed an impeachment motion against former President Donald Trump, which was based on a single charge of abuse of power for ordering a military strike in Iran without congressional approval. The proposal was introduced by Texas Democrat Al Green, but it sparked little debate. Notably, several members of his own Democratic Party joined Republicans in voting to reject the motion. Green stated, “No single individual should have the power to push over 300 million people toward war without Congress,” and added, “The Constitution must be meaningful, or it becomes meaningless.”

BNP leader Syed Emran Saleh Prince stated that the BNP is not as fragile as water on a taro leaf that disappears with a touch—it is as solid as the Himalayas and deeply rooted in public support. He criticized misinformation campaigns against the party, saying such tactics won't mislead the people. Prince noted that some leaders of emerging parties are overconfident, suggesting they’ll win 300 of 400 seats in the next election, leaving only 50 to 100 for the BNP. "If they are so confident, they should push for a neutral election within three months," he said. Prince also challenged the narrative that people no longer recognize BNP's ‘Sheaf of Paddy’ symbol, stating that the next election will prove the symbol’s continued popularity.
