BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has urged the government not to take any hasty decision on the issue of removing the president.
He made these remarks after paying homage to the 46th founding anniversary of the Jubo Dal at the mausoleum of martyred President Ziaur Rahman in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital at 11:30 am on Sunday (October 27).
Mirza Fakhrul Islam said, no hasty decision can be taken on the removal of the president. Everything must be done according to constitutional rules.
Regarding the election, he said, we had said earlier that if the revolution of Bangladesh has to be consolidated to bring home the fruits of the mass uprising, then national unity and no hasty decision can be taken, we think it should be done through the constitutional process. For that, an environment for impartial elections must be created as soon as possible after the reforms. The ownership of the country must be returned to them through the right of the people to vote. There is no other option.
Asked if he fears a conspiracy if the election is delayed, he said, "We have repeatedly said that elections need to be held as soon as possible. Power must be transferred to a constitutional political force."
At the same time, he also commented that national unity is needed so that the results of the coup are not spoiled.
The BNP top leader said, "We have sworn here today to protect our independence at any cost." After a long struggle against the fascist Awami League, we became independent for the second time on August 5. The role of the Jubo Dal in this struggle is undoubtedly significant.
He said, "Despite the illness of the BNP Chairperson, the Jubo Dal has become much stronger than before under the leadership of our leader Tarique Rahman. Its role in the successful outcome of the student-public uprising to protect the sovereignty of this country will remain intact. The Jubo Dal will play a leading role in resisting those who do not want to do good to Bangladesh."
When asked about BNP's position on the issue of the anti-discrimination student movement meeting with you to remove the president, the BNP Secretary General said, "The discussion will be held at the highest forum of BNP. We will clarify our position after the discussion." On the occasion of the 46th founding anniversary of the Jubo Dal, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP National Standing Committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, the party's Vice Chairman Barkat Ullah Bulu, Chairperson Adviser Moazzem Hossain Alal and other central metropolitan leaders of the Jubo Dal were present.
