DHAKA, Oct 7, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed urged the party leaders and workers to compete in the political field with talent, honesty and good leadership.

He made the call at a discussion organized by Chhatra Dal to mark the sixth death anniversary of BUET student Abrar Fahad at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) auditorium of Dhaka University today.

Salahuddin said three superpowers are now trying to make aggression on Bangladesh. Among them, two are regional powers and one is a global power, he mentioned.

“If you speak against India's aggression, you would have to give your life. Abrar Fahad's life was a warning so that no one speaks against them,” he said.

A superpower country has been able to exercise political hegemony and aggression due to a leader like Hasina, the BNP leader said.

In the programme, Chhatra Dal leaders alleged that an organization acted secretly staying at the leadership level of Chhatra League during the murder of Abrar Fahad. Jamaat leader Shishir Manir is trying to save the murderers from hanging in that case, they alleged.

Abrar Fahad, a second-year student of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of BUET, was brutally murdered by Chhatra League on October 6, 2019, due to a Facebook status about the unequal agreement and water aggression.
