DHAKA, Aug 16, 2025 (BSS) – BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan today laid emphasize on unmasking the “false history” propagated by the Awami League.

“The false history that Awami League created during the 1/11 period must be unmasked...It is true that a voter list was prepared later, but the election that followed was fully controlled,” he said.

Dr Moyeen said this while speaking at a discussion and ‘Doa Mahfil’ at the Jatiya Press Club here today marking the anniversary of the July-August mass uprising and the fall of fascism.

“Prior to the 2008 polls, a blueprint had been made determining which candidates would win in all 300 constituencies. That is how 1/11 was orchestrated in Bangladesh,” he said.

The 1/11 was created to establish a certain government in a planned way in the country, the BNP leader said, adding, as a result, for the last 15 years, they destroyed the country. 

“Awami League destroyed the country from all aspects. They destroyed the education system in a planned way. During Sheikh Hasina regime, sweeping cases were filed against BNP leaders and activists. Cases were filed against nearly 50 lakh BNP leaders and activists during the period,” Dr Moyeen said.

On the upcoming election, the senior BNP leader said, “The interim government has announced elections in February. We expect the Election Commission to declare the schedule and announce the polling date”.

Through the February election, a democratic country will be established where the martyrs will be honored with due dignity, he added.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Assistant Publicity Secretary Asadul Karim and Assistant Youth Affairs Secretary Mir Newaz Ali Newaz were present at the event, among others, with organizing body’s President Mir Sarafat Ali Sapu in the chair.
