BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has said that one political party has taken to the field with the intention to make the election controversial and prevent it from taking place, stating that people must remain extremely cautious and alert in this regard.
He said this during his speech as the chief guest at an election rally held at the Jashore Uposhohor College field on Monday afternoon.
Tarique Rahman said, “A top leader of a political party made extremely indecent remarks about working women. After that, when the country’s people protested loudly, to save face, the party is claiming that the leader’s social media account was hacked.”
“However,” he said, “Administration officials have informed that the account was not hacked. This political party has always been telling lies.”
Tarique Rahman further said, “Those who lie to the people of the country, they also collect bKash numbers from the people. This is their character.”
He urged everyone to remain alert about these matters.
He said, “Due to the role of this political party, millions of mothers and sisters were subjected to atrocities in 1971,” and stated that its conspiracies must be thwarted, working in conjunction with the people.
He also touched upon Jashore’s blooming flower cultivation industry and its potential as an export product.
Later, the BNP chief introduced 22 BNP-nominated candidates vying for the 7 seats from Jashore and Kushtia, urging the people of this region to vote for the “sheaf of paddy”.
The rally was presided over by Jashore District BNP President Syed Saberul Haque. The event was conducted by District BNP General Secretary Delwar Hossain Khokon.
Additionally, speeches were given by BNP Chairperson’s adviser Mehedi Ahmed, Vice Chairpersons Nitai Roy Chowdhury and Nargis Begum, BNP’s Khulna Divisional acting organisational secretary and candidate for Jashor-3 constituency Anindya Islam Amit, among others.
