BNP has been demanding a clear roadmap for the elections from the interim government. That demand became stronger since the party's rally on November 8. The presence of leaders and activists from different parts of the country in that rally made the party more dynamic. In view of this, BNP has decided to hold rallies in divisional cities to strengthen its preparations for the next election and prevent any conspiracy. In addition, the party has decided to hold another big public rally on December 16 to mark Victory Day.

However, although the specific time of the rally has not been clarified yet, several BNP leaders have said that the activities may start from next month.

Earlier, the meeting was held on Monday (November 11) night at the Chairperson's political office in Gulshan in the capital, sources in the meeting said that this issue was discussed. The meeting was virtually presided over by the party's acting chairman Tarique Rahman.

Sources in the meeting said that detailed discussions were held on the elections, the activities of the interim government, the current political situation, relations with Jamaat and other parties, and the next steps of BNP. If no decision is taken by the government during this period, the party will take to the streets demanding the 13th Jatiya Sangsad(JS) election by March-April.

Regarding the rally, several BNP leaders said that this rally will be held so that the government does not prolong its power and does not belittle the BNP. In addition, the goal of this rally will be to prevent any more conspiracies in the country and to maintain the democratic system. Apart from this, the BNP is also planning a big showdown around the great Victory Day.

They said that along with state reforms, the electoral process should also be carried out simultaneously. This will restore confidence in the minds of the people of the country. If a roadmap is not given, the fear among political parties of delaying the elections will increase further. This will also put the parties in uncertainty.

The interim government will have to discuss with the political parties before taking any decision regarding the elections. We are also discussing with the parties. BNP and other parties are committed to providing all kinds of cooperation to the government in its goal of fair elections in the country. But the more the elections are delayed, the more conspiracies will increase. Therefore, there is no alternative to elections to counter the conspiracy, said BNP leaders.

The meeting also discussed the inclusion of three new members in the advisory council. In this regard, they said that two of those appointed here are controversial. BNP is surprised by such a decision. They should have scrutinized and thought about it further. Earlier, BNP had questioned the appointment of former Cabinet Secretary Ali Imam Majumder as an adviser and demanded his resignation.

The meeting also discussed the issue of creating distance between BNP and Jamaat. The party leaders said that we have also agitated with Jamaat in the past to topple the fascist government. We have no distance from them. We want to hold elections with them.

However, the leaders urged continued formal or informal communication with Jamaat so that there is no rift or distance. 

Noting that the main sponsor of fascism is based in India, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, and India is spreading various propaganda against Bangladesh.

He urged everyone to be careful, saying, otherwise, we as a nation will face great danger.

Mirza Fakhrul said this during an exchange of views with journalists at his residence in Thakurgaon on Wednesday (November 13).

Commenting that some specific individuals are trying to destroy Bangladesh's achievements, he said, the biggest danger facing us is that the main sponsor of fascism is based in India. And India is spreading various propaganda against us. Therefore, we should be careful.

At this time, the BNP Secretary General said, the job of the current government is to know what the people want because the people want a fair election with the participation of everyone at this moment. All the reforms needed to make the election fair should also be done. Therefore, the election must be held within a reasonable time. The government should give the roadmap for the elections. The interim government should also give importance to the economic aspect.

Earlier, he inaugurated the foundation stone of the new building of the district BNP office.

At this time, district BNP general secretary Mirza Faisal Amin, Vice-president Bir Muktijoddha Abdul Karim and leaders and activists of the organization were present.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's picture should not have been taken down from Bangabhaban.

He made these remarks while participating in a free medical camp and blood donation program on National Revolution and Solidarity Day, at the BNP central office in Nayapaltan in the capital on Tuesday (November 12) morning.

He said that Khandaker Mushtaq also took down his picture and Ziaur Rahman put it up again.

Rizvi also said that those who have contributed at the national level must admit it. If someone commits a crime, history and the people will decide.

At that time, criticizing the Awami League-ruled government, he said that despite being good doctors, there was division during the Awami League rule. Many were not promoted due to their association with BNP. They were deprived for political reasons. They served in the same position for 15 to 16 years.

Earlier, the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was removed from the wall of the Durbar Hall of Bangabhaban. On Monday (November 11), Adviser Mahfuz Alam shared a picture on social media Facebook to give this information. In the caption of the picture, he wrote, "The picture of the post-'71 fascist leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has been removed from the Durbar Hall."

BNP Standing Committee member Major (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram has said that the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement do not believe in building a democratic society.

He said this at a discussion titled 'The aspirations of the great November 7 and today's political context' at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on Monday (November 11) afternoon on the occasion of National Revolution and Solidarity Day. The discussion meeting was organized by the Bangladesh Nationalist Freedom Fighters Party.

Expressing his regret over the coordinators' words, this senior BNP leader said, two days ago, a big student leader said that 2,000 people did not give their lives to vote. Is voting so simple? Voting is the symbol of democracy. We fought for voting in 1971. This fight was for democracy, for freedom of speech, for the fundamental rights of the people. The first step of which was a fair election. And they are saying that independence was not achieved for voting. So why is this war? What is our sacrifice for? The object of vote rigging? That is, they do not believe in building a democratic society.

He said, they (student leaders) think that the country will be fixed by holding two processions on the streets. Their gurus teach them, First Republic, Second Republic. There is only one Republic, which we created in 1971. Here, Second, Third Republic is all these nonsense nationalist talks. These are not needed now. The common people understand. In a very short time, conduct electoral reforms and hold elections.

Mentioning that reforms will be made, I do not see reforms anywhere, Major(retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed said, of course, those who have killed, disappeared, looted, and rigged the vote must be brought under punishment.

At this time, he said, Sheikh Hasina does not run away, she has said so many big words but had to run away in one piece. What happened? Learn to respect the power of the people. How great was the power, they killed people by shooting from helicopters and still I don't see any remorse.

This member of the BNP standing committee said, referring to the Awami League, they (Awami League) want to come to power again. What will they do? Will they kill more people? Will they loot more money? The people of Bangladesh will never accept you. If you have the courage, come and say with folded hands that you want to apologize. Say you have killed people, disappeared, murdered and looted. But don't say such contradictory things that will bring down this government in December.

Stating that I have supported the Yunus government and will continue to do so in the future, he said, but don't try to stay in power for life. Don't think about staying in power for 10-20 years. In the meantime, the prices of goods have increased a lot, discipline has not returned among the police force and other forces. Those who were Sheikh Hasina's vassals are still sitting in their respective places. Removing them quickly is an important task of the current government.
