Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman has remarked that Bangladesh should be a country where “no one can rise from the grave at midnight and cast a vote.”
He made the statement this afternoon (31 October) during a public gathering organised by Shailkupa’s Bogura, Abaipur and Nityanandpur union BNP in Jhenaidah.
Speaking at the event, Asaduzzaman said: “For 17 years, none of us could vote. When the people of Bangladesh were directionless in 1971, Shaheed Zia declared independence and showed the nation the right path. Following Shaheed Zia’s ideals, we must stand firm against corruption.”
He further warned that if Awami League leaders and activists do not improve themselves, the people will take action against them. “Your leader Hasina has left everyone behind and fled abroad with her relatives. Now she is plotting from outside the country, but it will bring no benefit,” he added.
Other speakers at the gathering included Advocate Humayun Babar Firoz, General Secretary of Shailkupa Upazila BNP; Organisational Secretary Nazrul Islam Kajol; Walid Hasan Pikul, Examination Controller of Islamic University; and Abu Musha, Vice President of the Central Chhatra Dal, along with other party leaders.
The programme was presided over by Rafiqul Islam Bishash, President of Abaipur Union BNP.
