BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said forces that opposed Bangladesh’s independence in 1971 are once again trying to resurface, but pro-independence and pro-democracy people will foil all conspiracies and safeguard the country’s sovereignty and democracy.
He made the remarks on Tuesday, December 16, after paying tribute at the grave of Ziaur Rahman in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka on the occasion of Victory Day.
Mirza Fakhrul said the war that began with the declaration of independence by martyred president Ziaur Rahman reached its final victory on the 16th of this month, making the day extremely significant for Bangladesh and for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. He said party leaders, including members of the BNP standing committee, had come to pay tribute to the party founder and proclaimer of independence.
He also said BNP leader Tarique Rahman, who is currently living in exile abroad, is expected to return to the country on December 25. He expressed hope that Tarique Rahman’s return would further strengthen the movement for democracy.
