BNP Standing Committee member Major (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram said that BNP thinks elections can be held within the next six months after holding talks with political parties.

He said that the government will remain weak until an elected government comes to the country. They have to face various demands every day and they do not have the strength to solve this problem.

On Sunday (November 24), the Barishal Divisional Committee organized a memorial meeting and prayer mahfil at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) to mark the 35th death anniversary of 9th Sector Commander freedom fighter Major (retd) MA Jalil. He said these things while speaking as the chief guest there.

He said, we want to see a government that is accountable to the people immediately. The field of politics is open. If the student community wants to do politics, they should form a party and come to the elections. Now, they can form a party and come to the doorstep of the people in a free environment. We will accept whoever the people give the responsibility of running the state.

Major Hafiz further said, we are hearing about reforms, good, there is nothing wrong with reforms, but reforms are an ongoing process. As long as Bangladesh exists, reforms will continue, will the people sit still? BNP has been struggling for 17 years to establish the people's right to vote.

One of the main things of democracy is the right to vote for the people. We have had to fight for this long because of not being able to vote. We hope the current government will understand. Dr. Yunus is the pride of Bangladesh, the country's creative son, the whole world knows him. We hope they will hold elections at a reasonable time. But a reasonable time cannot be five years or four years. Many young people have given their lives to regain the people's right to vote in the country, how many people have disappeared, been martyred, so we do not want to see any kind of delay in establishing today's democracy.

He said, as a result of the revolution in July-August, the militant student society of Bangladesh and other opposition parties including BNP have proven that Bengalis are a brave nation. As a result of this struggle, the fascist government has been forced to flee the country. We hope that no one can defeat us again.

The revolution that has been achieved to completely eliminate inequality and turn the country into a truly democratic state should not be lost. He called on every citizen to play a role so that it is not stopped by the conspiracy of the neighboring state.

The discussion meeting, chaired by Barishal Divisional Association President Iqbal Hossain Forkan, was also attended by BNP National Executive Committee Vice President Advocate Zainul Abedin, BNP Chairperson Advisor Moazzem Hossain Alal, Advocate Mujibur Rahman Sarwar, Acting General Secretary of the organizing organization Shahabuddin Reza, Nurur Rahman Jahangir, Manjur Hossain Isa, Farid Uddin Bhuiyan, Kamal Uddin Ahmed, Abdul Hakim, Khaleda Khanam, Zahirul Alam Iqbal, etc.

Dhaka: Commenting that the main actor who brought the fall of fascism is BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman, the party's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir added that establishing just politics in the country is possible only with Tarique Rahman.

He made this comment while speaking at the Chuadanga district BNP biennial conference on Saturday (November 23).

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the Awami League had transformed into a terrible dictatorship through repression and torture, and in the end, they fled the country due to the anger of the people.

He said that after reforms, to make it sustainable, people's support will be needed, and an elected government is needed to do that. Saying that BNP does not want elections for power, Mirza Fakhrul said that BNP wants elections to protect democracy. It wants elections to establish people's rights.

He said that the way Awami League has used the police; this cannot happen in a democratic country. Awami League has nothing but terrorism and corruption.

Mirza Fakhrul, warning that BNP will never compromise on the issue of democracy, said, "The Awami League has tried to erase all traces by distorting history. The real history cannot be erased by doing this." Mirza Fakhrul, commenting that BNP has no problem with students, said, "A new sun has risen, we want to bring the youth forward."

We don't want to see another fascist in power by removing one fascist. We don't want another terrorist in power. The previous government has created inequality in all areas for 17 years in power. It has laundered lakhs and crores of taka including disappearances, murders, attacks, cases, torture and oppression, said the senior Nayeb-e-Amir of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Sheikh Charmonai Mufti Syed Faizul Karim.

He said this at a public meeting of Islami Andolan Bangladesh held at Bhola Government School Ground on Friday (November 22) afternoon.

He said, we thought that inequality would be eliminated after August 5, but it didn't happen. Extortion, looting, grabbing, tender rigging, everything is happening, only individuals have changed. But people did not give blood for this. So we will not follow their path and words.

He also said, we don't want inequality, inequality must be eliminated. The fruit of the student-public movement is today's new Bangladesh. The people of the country have taken up arms, fought, hundreds of people have shed blood, been killed but inequality has not been eliminated. We thought that if inequality can be eliminated, peace will come to the country. We have changed A, B, C, but theft through thieves cannot be changed. Similarly, corruption cannot be stopped by leaving corrupt people behind. Rintu ate it first, now Sentu is eating it. The leader has changed, the party has changed. But the country and its policies have not changed. One cannot expect sweet fruits by planting tamarind trees.

Faizul Karim said, there are a lot of gas resources in Bhola. Bhola gas is being purchased at Taka 16 and but sold at Taka 47, but the people of Bhola are not getting gas. This inequality must be eliminated. The people of Bhola demand that it is possible to take it elsewhere only by connecting gas to their homes first. If Bhola gas is to be taken outside, industrial plants including the Bhola-Barishal bridge can be built and then the gas can be taken to different parts of the country.

At that time, he announced a program to surround the Bhola Intraco LPG station on December 6 if gas is not provided to homes immediately.

Under the chairmanship of Maulana Ataur Rahman Momtaji, President of the Bhola District North Branch of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Senior Joint Secretary General Maulana Gazi Ataur Rahman delivered the keynote address, while Maulana Muha. Sirajul Islam, Vice Principal, Barishal Divisional Organizing Secretary of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, Maulana Obaidur Rahman Bin Mustafa, Barishal Divisional Organizing Secretary of Islami Andolan Bangladesh, etc., delivered the special guest address.

The program was moderated by Maulana Tariqul Islam Tarek, Secretary of the Bhola District North Branch of Islami Andolan Bangladesh.

 After 14 years, the Chuadanga District BNP Conference is going to be held tomorrow, November 23. This is the first time in the history of Chuadanga District BNP that such a large-scale conference is being organized in an open field. As such, a huge festive atmosphere has already been created among the leaders and workers.

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman will be virtually participating in the conference as the chief guest and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will be present in person as the inaugurator. The District BNP has already made extensive preparations for the conference, including stage decoration. Banners and festoons have been draped throughout the town and the district. The District BNP Conference is now the focus of discussion among the general public in the district.

Earlier, the Election Commission had announced the schedule for the election of the posts of President, General Secretary and Organizing Secretary with the aim of forming a full-fledged committee of the District BNP through the conference. Adv. Abdul Khalek is serving as the Chief Election Commissioner in the Chuadanga District BNP elections. Adv. Abdur Rouf, Adv. Shahjahan Mukul, Adv. Manik Khandaker and Adv. Milton will act election commissioners.

According to the already announced schedule, one person has collected nomination papers for the post of president, two for the post of general secretary and four for the post of organizing secretary. District BNP convener Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu, the only candidate for the post of president of Chuadanga district BNP, submitted his nomination papers. After six hours, it became clear that his nomination as the only candidate was valid. He is the president of Chuadanga district BNP. In addition, the nominations of district BNP member secretary Md. Sharifuzzaman Sharif and district BNP convening committee member Milima Biswas Mili have been valid for the post of general secretary. District Swechchhasebak Dal president Md. Shafiqul Islam Pitu, Damurhuda Upazila BNP leader Mohd. Khalid Mahmud, District Jubo Dal finance secretary Md. Mominur Rahman and Mirza Faridul Islam Shiplu, a member of the district BNP convening committee, have been validated. Except for the president, the elections for the remaining two posts will be held on the day of the conference.

It is learned that the last conference of Chuadanga District BNP was held in 2010 at the Bangaj Factory premises. And the convening committee of Chuadanga District BNP was formed in 2021. The district BNP says that it was not possible to hold the conference at the scheduled time due to the implementation of the central program, agitation, lawsuits, attacks, and arrests. Although a little late, this time the district BNP is going to hold the conference in a big way. Stages and pavilions have already been arranged at the town football field of Chuadanga town, the conference venue. Large arches have been installed at the four entrances of Chuadanga town. Banners and festoons have been draped from the town to different parts of the district. There is a festive atmosphere among the leaders and workers.

The guest list of the central BNP conference has been finalized. BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman will be participating virtually as the chief guest at the conference. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is expected to be present in person as the inaugurator. The conference will be chaired by District BNP Convener Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu and moderated by District BNP Member Secretary Md. Sharifuzzaman Sharif. It is learnt that BNP central leaders will be present at the conference.

According to district BNP sources, on November 3, 2021, at a time of crisis in the party, the central BNP announced a two-member district committee with Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu as the convener and Sharifuzzaman Sharif as the member secretary. Then, on January 19, 2022, a 31-member convening committee was approved. The convening committee held its first meeting on January 27 that year. In the first meeting, a coordination team was formed with the members of the district convening committee to form the committee through public conferences in 369 wards, 41 unions, 4 pourashavas and 5 police stations of Chuadanga district. That team formed the unit committees through public conferences and elections.

The Election Commission has determined a total of 808 people from the four upazila and four municipal committees of the district as voters for this year's conference. It has been learned from talking to several voters that during the fascist government, BNP could not publicly carry out any large-scale party activities. Earlier too, Chuadanga BNP failed to organize a conference in that way. But this time, due to the changed situation and the decision of the party leaders, a record conference is going to be held. For this reason, a grand arrangement is being seen around the entire conference. And the biggest achievement is that the workers are being evaluated. The workers themselves will elect the leader with their valuable votes. Therefore, the leaders who have looked after the party in difficult times, in good times and bad, and have worked selflessly for the party's interests, are being considered. Again, a thorough analysis is being done about those who will be able to evaluate the workers in the future.
