BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the army should be given the magisterial powers in the areas that have gone out of control. It would not be expedient or wise to create new problems by giving magistracy powers in areas that are peaceful and controlled by political leaders. This government needs to consider the matter fully.

He said this while meeting and helping the families of the martyrs and the injured in the movement to overthrow the fascist Sheikh Hasina, organized by the District BNP in Thakurgaon Press Club hall room on Thursday (September 19) morning.

Mirza Fakhrul said, "I fought with Pakistan in 1971, and I had to fight with a political party of the country in 24." More than 700 people have gone missing during the dictatorship of Hasina regime. Thousands of people were killed. Begum Khaleda Zia, Tarique Rahman and others have been made destitute with false cases in the name of common people. During their tenure, 9 people were killed in Thakurgaon.

He said, we want an election through the participation of all I want to see a democratic state and parliament in the future so that the politicians can act, the political situation returns along with that, he demanded to arrange employment for the families of the martyrs and the injured in the movement.

In Thakurgaon, 4 martyred families and 29 injured members were given Tk. 15 lakh financial aid in the movement to overthrow the dictator Hasina.

District BNP general secretary Mirza Faisal Amin, vice-president Obaidullah Masud along with leaders and workers of BNP and other organizations were present.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, if we start again like Awami League then we will be in the same situation. That's why we who have fought and struggled - my request to them, you make yourself beloved by people, as a container of love. Do not torture anyone unjustly.

He said, today we are living in free Bangladesh. But remember it will be free until the day we can keep it free.

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said these things during the public meeting organized by BNP at Haripur Upazila Eidgah ground in Thakurgaon on Wednesday (September 18) afternoon.

General Secretary of BNP said, people of Hindu community are our deposit. It is our responsibility to protect them. Narrating a verse of the Holy Quran, he said, Allah Ta'ala said, "He who betrays a trust is not a believer". We have to protect this deposit. Puja is coming up, everyone should be alert so that no mishap takes place in the center of the puja.

He said that the terrible monster fascist Hasina's government fell in the uprising of the students. Before its fall, Hasina's government killed about 2,000 people in the student movement. Some lost their hands, some lost their legs, some had their skulls blown off. Some of them were studying in college, some were studying in university. Hasina killed these people.

Stating that the Awami League government and Sheikh Hasina have done extensive torture and imprisonment, BNP Secretary General said, "We have suffered a lot in the last 15-16 years. You have been prosecuted here only for the crime of joining BNP, for the crime of organizing Jamaat, you have been kept in jail. That situation has ended. Sheikh Hasina, who had become the most influential leader, had to flee just like that. She had to leave through the crowd. Before leaving, lakhs of people were coming to occupy the Gonobhavan. At that very moment, she saved her life by going to the neighboring country India.

After reciting a verse of Surah Imran in Arabic and translating it into Bengali, Fakhrul said, "I make whomever I want to be a owner, a king, a president, a prime minister, and I make him a street beggar at any time." Asylum has fallen into that pitiful condition. And those who ruled us here with power, jailed us, oppressed us, seized land, took away business and trade, did not allow us to do politics - today they are in jail. That is why Allah says, "Do not transgress, Allah does not forgive the transgressor".

Regarding Obaidul Quader, Mirza Fakhrul said, where did Mr. Obaidul Quader go, the countrymen do not know where you have gone. I want to tell you, come to my house and come to my area.

Mirza Fakhrul ended the meeting by expressing his regret to the leaders and activists as he could not stand up and give a speech due to illness.

Haripur Upazila BNP President Vice Principal Jamal Uddin presided over the meeting and Thakurgaon District BNP General Secretary Mirza Faisal Amin, Abu Taher and others gave speeches.

Dhaka: Acting Chairman of BNP Tariq Rahman has commented that after the reform, there will be an electoral roadmap in Bangladesh.

He said this while addressing as chief guest at the BNP rally on the occasion of International Democracy Day in front of BNP's central office at Nayapaltan in the capital on Tuesday (September 17) afternoon.

Tariq Rahman said, the last 15 years have introduced mafia rule in the country. This mafia cycle has made the country fragile. The mess left behind by the mafia is still not cleaned up. The failure of the interim government means the failure of all of us. So everyone should continue to cooperate with this government.

He said that two and a half crore voters of the young generation could not exercise their right to vote. The political rights of the people will be established through a free and fair election. Reforms should be completed on priority basis. If reforms are not done on a priority basis, the mass uprising of the students will fail.

Tariq Rahman said that people need political and economic reforms. In that continuation, 31 points have been announced in 2023 for the reform of BNP party politics.

At the same time, he urged all to prepare to create a knowledge-based state.
