Gazipur Correspondent: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir speaks at a workers’ rally organized by the Gazipur District and City Shramik Dal at Konabari Degree College ground on Saturday.
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has urged the interim government to extradite Sheikh Hasina from India, he says, Sheikh Hasina’s ghost remains in country.
“We have told the Indian government not to provide shelter to a murderer who has committed genocide and is implicated in numerous murder cases. They have not responded to us. We have told the interim government to immediately send a letter to India, asking them to return and bring Sheikh Hasina, who has destroyed the country, to justice,” he said while speaking at a workers’ rally organized by the Gazipur District and City Shramik Dal at Konabari Degree College ground on Saturday.
He claimed that even though Hasina has fled the country, yet her influence continues to destabilize the nation. “Her ghost remains in the country, attempting to create instability,” he said.
Addressing Sheikh Hasina directly, Fakhrul said: “During her time, many people were killed, including workers and students. She has destroyed the entire state apparatus to remain in power, especially by using the police to perpetrate torture. We can’t even breathe freely or sleep peacefully at night.”
He also highlighted Dr Yunus, who is respected globally, forming a government with distinguished citizens, and said that the BNP has called for freeing the country from the “trash” of the Awami League while holding elections in a reasonable timeframe.
“We want to vote and elect a government and parliament through the electoral process,” he said.
Fakhrul raised concerns about ongoing conspiracies within the country, particularly regarding corruption and money laundering.
“They are unable to forget their looting and theft. They believe that if they could bring Sheikh Hasina back, they could continue their corrupt practices. This is why they are actively trying to destroy our industries, especially the garment sector, with the help of external forces that have vested interests,” he said.
He urged party members and activists to unite in protecting the garment industry, emphasizing that 5 million people rely on this sector for their livelihoods, which significantly contributes to the country’s foreign earnings. “We must resist these forces together,” he added.
