Dhaka //

Adviser to BNP Chairperson Zainul Abdin Farooq said to India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, “You are a minister but I am also a citizen of a free country.” You should apologize for the statement you made. People of Bangladesh have a big heart. They know how to forgive. So don’t make a sarcastic statement about Bangladesh, no one will accept that.

He said these things in the speech of the main speaker at a protest rally organized by 12 parties in front of the National Press Club of the capital on Tuesday (September 10) in protest against the aggressive threat of India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh against the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh. After the rally, the leaders took out a short procession at the press club premises.

Zainul Abdin Farooq said that the people affected by the flood have faced various problems. Yet the people there say why Sheikh Hasina is not being tried yet. In this one month and 5 days, people would have believed if someone from the Sheikh family was brought to justice. We trust you. People believe. But they are raising questions. I will tell the interior adviser – where are the criminals?

He said to the interim government, announce an election roadmap and take action accordingly. Today all citizens are waiting for a fair election. Let us all be united. So that the ghosts of Awami League can no longer do politics in Bangladesh. In the future, Bangladesh will be governed by the 31-point framework announced by BNP acting chairman Tarek Rahman.
