BNP Chairperson’s Advisor Khandaker Abdul Muktadir said, ‘BNP does people’s politics, politics of the people, that is why it has continued its political activities within democratic programs even after 17 years of oppression.’

Claiming that 57 smart army officers were brutally killed in the name of BDR mutiny in a cold-blooded and well-planned manner under the patronage of autocratic Sheikh Hasina and her confidants Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Mirza Azam, he also said, ‘The hellish massacre took place in Peelkhana on February 25 and 26, 2009. There is no precedent anywhere in the world for the killing of so many army officers in just one day. So many army officers did not have to sacrifice their lives in the nine months of Bangladesh’s Liberation War. Even after 17 years, such barbaric incidents have not been brought to justice till date. Inshallah, the dictator Sheikh Hasina and the planners of the incident will be brought to justice for the gruesome murder of 74 people, including 57 army officers.’

Regarding various agreements with India, he said, ‘The dictator Sheikh Hasina has consistently made agreements with India one after another, which are not for the welfare of the people of the country, but only for the illegal state power of the Awami League. Let all the agreements made by the dictator Sheikh Hasina that are against sovereignty, national interests and national security be cancelled.’

He said the above while speaking as the chief guest at a huge rally organized by the Greater Tukerbazar BNP at the Tukerbazar ground on Saturday (November 2).
