KHULNA, June 27, 2025 (BSS) – Student Affairs Secretary of the BNP National Executive Committee Rokibul Islam Bakul here today said BNP leaders and activists would move forward for building a better Bangladesh under the leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman.

“We do not want violent politics. We do not want to see the terrorist activities of fascist Hasina. Under the leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia and our future leader Tarique Rahman, BNP activists would move forward for building a better Bangladesh,” he said.

Bakul made the remarks while speaking as chief guest at a women’s gathering of BNP, organized by the BNP family at Ward No. 6 of Daulatpur Thana area in the city last night.

He alleged that Sheikh Hasina had planned to kill country’s three-time Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia by keeping her imprisoned on false charges.
 
“Over the past 16 years, the fascist Sheikh Hasina’s looting forces and helmet squads have humiliated and tortured you - going door to door, harassed and abused you. We all remember those incidents,” said Bakul who is planning to be BNP’s candidate for the Khulna-3 constituency in the upcoming national polls. 

“We do not want to be humiliated anymore. We want to live peacefully in our homes. We want to ensure people’s fundamental rights - rights for which this country became independent, food, clothing, education, healthcare, and shelter. We want to return to those principles,” he said.
 
BNP leader Zainal Abedin presided over the meeting while city unit BNP President Advocate Shafiqul Alam Mona and General Secretary Shafiqul Alam Tuhin spoke as special guests.

City Unit BNP Organizing Secretary Sheikh Sadi, Chowdhury Shafiqul Islam Hossain, Daulatpur Thana BNP President Murshid Kamal, General Secretary Sheikh Imam Hossain, Motlubur Rahman Mitul, Liaquat Hossain Lavlu, Khabir Uddin, Ansar Ali, Bellal Hossain, Salma Begum, and Madina Howlader, among others, spoke at the event.
