The BNP has vowed to resist the hegemonic forces in a bid to protect democracy, the country’s independence and sovereignty, the party’s Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said.

“We made a vow on November 7, after paying homage to Ziaur Rahman, that we will resist fascism together with people.

We will launch a strong movement, if necessary, to protect democracy and preserve the country’s independence and sovereignty,” BNP Secretary General on Thursday said while talking to journalists at the grave of BNP founder late President Ziaur Rahman in the capital.

The BNP leader also expressed the hope that the interim government would be able to arrange the national election within a proper and reasonable timeframe.

He also expressed the confidence that the people of Bangladesh would unite to reinforce the spirit of the student-led revolution.

Earlier, Mirza Fakhrul, accompanied by thousands of leaders and activists, placed wreaths and offered fathea at the grave of Ziaur Rahman, marking ‘National Revolution and Solidarity Day’. The day commemorates the ‘civil-military uprising’ of November 7, 1975.

During the political unrest, in 1975, soldiers and civilians jointly freed then-Chief of Army Staff Ziaur Rahman from captivity in Dhaka Cantonment, clearing the way for him to assume power.

Mirza Fakhrul said the fascist Awami League government had repeatedly plotted and resorted to repressive actions to eliminate the BNP.

The BNP leader alleged that the Awami League had falsely implicated 60 lakh people, subjected around 700 to enforced disappearance and killed several thousand others in its efforts to establish a one-party rule and fascism.
“But by the grace of Allah, fascism and hegemonic forces have been defeated for the third time in Bangladesh through the student-led mass movement in 2024,” he said.
