Call for Countrymen's Vigilance Against the Conspiracy of the Fallen Autocrat.

Statement of Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Secretary General of Bangladesh Nationalist Party - BNP

We have learned from various reliable sources that the fallen autocrat and his accomplices have deliberately embarked on a plan to take revenge against the interim government and the victorious student public. They are also using social media extensively to cunningly shift the blame for these heinous crimes onto the BNP and all democratic political forces. In particular, certain news channels from a neighboring country and social media platforms are being exploited by a designated group. The assets and religious places of Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian communities have been specifically targeted. Their current conspiracy is to divide society to incite communal riots. They are also desperately trying to create divisions among the victorious forces and the people.

We hope that the interim government, the administration, and all citizens at every level are vigilant about this issue. Our party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party - BNP, has already taken all possible steps within our capacity. Strict organizational and legal actions will be taken against anyone involved in such malpractices using the party’s name.

However, understanding the depth of the situation and the environment, we would like to once again alert the nation and all domestic and international supportive forces about this conspiracy of the fallen autocrat and his accomplices. We specifically urge all citizens of minority communities to rise up against this conspiracy from their respective positions and build social awareness and resistance. In the aim of building a democratic Bangladesh, we earnestly call upon all citizens to stand by the interim government, patriotic defense forces, administration, police, BGB, and Ansar forces, regardless of party affiliation.
