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 Chairperson's adviser Zainul Abdin Farooq has asked the interim government, "It's not our business. It's the business of the general public of the country. The students of this country have put you in power with their fresh blood. Why were these two controversial people made advisers?"

He said these things at a protest rally in front of the National Press Club on Tuesday (November 12) at the initiative of the Ganatantrik Parishad(GP) demanding the withdrawal of false cases against all leaders and activists, including the future state hero Tarique Rahman.

Farooq said, "We established August 5 with our fresh blood. We must demand from this revolutionary government why Tarique Rahman's case is not being withdrawn. I think the people of the country have already started saying that what is needed at this moment is the independent guard of Bangladesh nationalists, the country hero Tarique Rahman."

Addressing the interim government, he said, "You have to remember that in the last 16 years, Sheikh Hasina has destroyed democracy in the country, looted, laundered money, made Sheikh Mujibur Rahman the Father of the Nation, made fake freedom fighters and created discrimination by giving jobs. Even though Sheikh Hasina fled abroad, her two friends are still in this country. They are still holding positions in various departments. They must be removed. Otherwise, they are conspiring. They will start conspiring more extensively."

Addressing the interim government, this former Chief Whip also said, "The two advisers who were sworn in two days ago. The students of this country put you in power with the fresh blood of their chests. Why were these two controversial advisers made? Whose brother was an Awami League MP. Who is accused of murdering anti-discrimination students? Whose role in this anti-discrimination movement is no. The controversy that has been created by making them members of the advisory board. The anti-discrimination students have united with that controversy." By making these two advisery members, Abu Sayed and Mughdha have been insulted.

He said, it has been three months since the interim government came to power, why are there still about 40,000 cases against the leaders and activists of the country's hero Tarique Rahman and BNP? The Awami League and the police have filed cases against those who have been agitating to restore democracy. Why are these cases not being withdrawn?

Addressing the interim government, this former MP said, elections must be held. The election date must be announced. After announcing the election date then reform. We have supported you. We will be with you. If there is any conspiracy against you, the country's hero Tarique Rahman and the nationalist forces will be on the streets. So let's hold a fair election. The party that comes to power through that election will make the main reforms.

The meeting, chaired by the President of the GP, Kamal Hossain, General Secretary of the United States Swechchasebak Dal Abul Hossain, BNP's Deputy Jubo Bishak Sampadak Mir Newaz, and NDP Secretary General Md. Manjur Hossain Isa, Tati Party Senior Joint Convener Dr. Kazi Moniruzzaman, Ulama Party Senior Joint Convener Maulana Alamgir Hossain spoke.

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."
