KHULNA, Nov 15, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Chairperson's adviser and the party-nominated candidate for Barishal-5 constituency Advocate Mojibur Rahman Sarwar has said history shows people can overcome any challenge through unity.

"The historic day of 7th November 1975 teaches us that people's unity and struggle can bring meaningful change. Today, we recall that legacy and reaffirm our commitment. We will never retreat from establishing the rights and dignity of people from all professions," he said.

He made the remarks while addressing a workers' rally at Khalishpur in the district on Friday evening. The regional unit of Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal organized the programme marking the historic National Revolution and Solidarity Day.

Speaking as special guest, BNP chairperson's special assistant and central Sramik Dal chief coordinator Advocate Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas said, "Workers today are facing multiple challenges, including low wages, unstable working conditions, and insecurity. To overcome the situation, unity is essential."

BNP Central Executive Committee's Secretary for Student Affairs and BNP-nominated candidate for Khulna-3 constituency Rokibul Islam Bokul said, "Our goal is to ensure a strong, safe, and dignified working environment so that even the poorest worker's family can move towards prosperity."
