Mirza Fakhrul Warns Against Division, Urges Unity Amid Rising Instability

Expressing concern over several recent incidents, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, “If division persists within one’s own house, nothing can be achieved.” He made these remarks on Wednesday (November 27) at an event held at the National Press Club. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stated, “I am deeply worried. A type of frenzy has been created centering religion. We fought for a free press, but now it’s being destroyed. I am also alarmed by the frenzy unfolding on social media.” The BNP leader added, “Our true nature is beginning to surface within just three months. Success cannot be achieved with such a state of affairs. Personally, I do not want such a Bangladesh.” Raising questions about the reasons behind the grave instability, the top BNP leader said, “It hasn’t even been three months, and demands are erupting on the streets; there’s killing, bloodshed, arson. Why this instability? Where lies the problem? How much more division must Bangladesh bear? Will it keep rising only to fall again due to violence?” Referring to an underlying conspiracy, Mirza Fakhrul said, “Do we understand where our fear and anxiety lie? The assailant stands behind us. If we truly understood this, such irresponsible remarks would not come forth.” He alleged, “Some individuals, despite being in responsible positions, are inciting division. I won’t name them. They are paving the way for division. Whether they are friends or foes of the nation, the people will judge that.” Addressing the interim government, he said, “Those in charge should refrain from making statements that create confusion among the people. This government was not established out of anyone’s mercy but was built upon sacrifices and bloodshed. Therefore, it is the government’s responsibility to reflect the aspirations of the people.” Also present at the event were BNP Standing Committee Member AZM Zahid Hossain, Chairperson’s Advisory Council Member Amanullah Aman, and many others. The program was presided over by DAB President Harun Al Rashid and moderated by Senior Joint Secretary General Mehedi Hasan under the supervision of General Secretary Abdus Salam.
