BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the government has lied about various agreements with India including the railway corridor. They have always resorted to deception. Through this they tried to befool the people.

He made this comment in response to the questions of journalists after paying respects at the grave of late President Ziaur Rahman in Sher-e-bangla Nagar on Monday (July 1) afternoon.

The BNP Secretary General said that if India will use the railway line on the country's soil, there will be no interest in Bangladesh. This government has given India a share in all air-land-sea routes of the country. No objection, we don't mind the connectivity. What Bangladesh got is the main thing. We have not got anything here because of this compromise or corridor.

On Monday afternoon, a group of lawyers led by the newly appointed president of the Nationalist Lawyers Forum Zainal Abedin laid wreaths at the late leader's grave.

Mirza Fakhrul said, Bangladesh will become dependent on India in a short period of time. It has been proven. I did not get a fair share of the water of the common rivers of Bangladesh; I did not get the Teesta river water. Border killings are not stopping; no transparent measures have been taken to address the trade deficit.

At that time, Nationalist Lawyers Forum Vice- President Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon, General Secretary Qaiser Kamal, Masud Ahmed Talukder, Badruddoza Badal, Ruhul Quddus Kajal, Khorshed Alam, Iqbal Hossain, Gazi Kamrul Islam Sajal, Sagir Hossain Leon and others were present.

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader commented that there is no sleep in BNP's eyes, sleep has become bad dreams.

He said this at a discussion meeting organized on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Awami League in front of the Awami League office in Tejgaon Dhaka District on Monday (July 1) at noon. The discussion meeting was organized by Dhaka Metropolitan North Awami League.

He said, BNP has no sleep, sleep has become forbidden. Fire of unrest in Fakhrul's eyes. Farman comes from London. In or out.

Obaidul Quader said, when will they wage a movement against the Awami League? They do not believe in themselves. No one likes anyone, says the government agent. Each other is called an agent of the government. Their movement is fake.

Dhaka Metropolitan North Awami League President Sheikh Bazlur Rahman presided over the meeting and General Secretary SA Mannan Kochi conducted the meeting.

The party has not seen any big political rally since the BNP's incomplete grand rally on October 28 last year. But this time the party wants to become active on the streets again. After the election, BNP has held several press conferences and small rallies, but this time it has called for a big rally.

At the beginning of this three-day program, the BNP will hold a rally demanding the unconditional release and better treatment of party chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. The rally will be held in front of the party's central office in Nayapaltan on Saturday (June 29) at 2 pm.

After taking a break for a day, the party has announced plans to hold rallies in major cities across the country on the first day of July and in district towns across the country on July 3.

Senior Joint Secretary General of BNP Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said that the leaders and workers of BNP in North and South of Dhaka metropolis will hold a rally to demand the release of Khaleda Zia.

He announced this at the party's central office in Nayapaltan on Friday (June 28) afternoon.

Rizvi said that a rally will be held in Nayapaltan on Saturday to demand the unconditional release of Begum Khaleda Zia, the symbol of democracy, the 'Mother of Democracy' and an undying commitment to protect freedom and sovereignty. The rally will start from 2 pm.

In view of the permission for the assembly, he said, we have already sent a letter to the Police Commissioner's office for the assembly. A BNP delegation also held a meeting with police officials. BNP National Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas coordinated various preparatory meetings to make the rally a success. Meanwhile, all preparations have been completed to make the rally a success.

This senior leader of the BNP said, I hope a historic rally will be held tomorrow. He called upon all the leaders and activists of the party including Dhaka residents to attend the rally on time to demand the release of Khaleda Zia.

The BNP rally is scheduled to start from 2 pm on Saturday. BNP press wing officer Shamsuddin Didar told Barta24.com that party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will be present as the Chief Guest in the rally under the chairmanship of Mirza Abbas.

Sources of the party said that BNP is preparing for a big showdown through this program.

According to sources, activists from various wards of Dhaka City as well as neighboring areas of the capital Narayanganj, Munshiganj, Narsingdi, Gazipur, Manikganj, Tangail can join in this rally.

It should be noted that Khaleda Zia went to jail on February 8, 2017 after being sentenced to five years in prison in a special court in Dhaka in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case. The following year on October 30, 2021, his sentence was increased to 10 years after the High Court dismissed her appeal in the case.

Earlier, another special court in Dhaka found the former Prime Minister guilty in the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case on October 29, 2018. She was then sentenced to seven years of rigorous imprisonment. During the Corona pandemic, on March 25, 2020, the government released the BNP Chief under Section 401 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CRPC).
