JASHORE, Jan 29, 2026 (BSS) - BNP candidate for Jashore-3 constituency Aninda Islam Amit today said Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) would not support any reform that denies the Liberation War or undermines its spirit.

"BNP firmly believes that Bangladesh cannot exist by denying the Liberation War," he told a view-exchange meeting with freedom fighters at the Jashore District Muktijoddha Sangsad Bhaban this afternoon.

Freedom fighter leaders, including Abdul Malek, addressed the meeting, which was chaired by District Muktijoddha Sangsad Convener Abdul Latif.

Speaking as the chief guest, Amit said the primary objective of reforms should be to strengthen parliamentary democracy and ensure a balance of power between the President and the Prime Minister.

He said BNP had announced its reform proposals in 2023 to prevent the emergence of dictatorship or fascism in the future.

Addressing the freedom fighters, Amit said they were uniting across the country under the banner of BNP. "The party founded by valiant freedom fighter Ziaur Rahman remains committed to upholding the dignity and honour of freedom fighters," he added.

As a political party, BNP and its Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman would never allow any action that insults the Liberation War or disrespects freedom fighters, he said.

Leaders of the District Freedom Fighters' Association and local BNP leaders were also present at the meeting.
