Dhaka: Fascist dictator is sitting across the border. It is sitting and hatching new conspiracies, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has commented.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at the Thakurgaon Chhatra Parishad Student Convention-2024 in Dhaka at Khamarbari Krishibid Institute in the capital on Friday (November 29) afternoon.
Urging to be vigilant in confronting the conspiracies of fallen dictators, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that what we have achieved should not go in vain because dictatorship is sitting across the border. It is sitting and hatching new conspiracies. Every moment, it wants to show the world by causing one incident or another that Bangladesh has become a country of fundamentalists. That minority brothers are being tortured in Bangladesh. Indian newspapers and social media are writing as if these terrible incidents are happening in Bangladesh. They are not. So who is doing it? Why are they doing it?
He said, I am saying these words because we have no time to be happy that we have won, everything is over. The sword is still over our heads. They are trying to take us back to darkness. That is why we have to be vigilant, we have to be careful. We have to prevent anyone from doing any kind of stubbornness, any chaos.
The BNP Secretary General expressed his regret and said, I am very sad when I see boys fighting in colleges. When such a big victory, history is made, then we have to see Suhrawardy-Molla College getting bloody due to fights. This is in no way acceptable. We have to stand against it. This is a conspiracy.
Addressing the students, he said, "The extraordinary work you have done in the history of Bangladesh, saving the country from monsters - this is not a small thing." We have not yet crossed that threshold; we have now gone a step further. Only when the students have given their hearts and shed blood has liberation come. The vanguard of our liberation is the students.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, the names of the students come first in this movement. However, we do not keep track of how many rickshaw pullers and workers have lost their lives. I went to Pangu Hospital to see the students. When I went there, I saw that almost 40 percent were workers. It is also important for us to keep track of them.
He said, we are all at the end of our lives, and there was one hope that we would be able to see freedom from the hands of the monster in our lifetime. I was worried whether Begum Khaleda Zia would be able to see the country liberated. Alhamdulillah, she was able to see it.
