Nazrul Islam Khan, a member of the party's standing committee, claimed that BNP has become stronger since the party's vice chairman Abdus Salam Pintu was released. He said, 'We are not only happy to have the vice chairman of the party Abdus Salam Pintu back among us, we are much stronger. Worked with Maulana Bhasani – the presence of such a leader will strengthen BNP.'
The party's vice chairman Abdus Salam Pintu was released from Kashimpur Central Jail-2 in Gazipur on Tuesday after 17 years in prison. In the afternoon after the release, senior leaders of the party paid tribute to the grave of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman in the capital. Nazrul Islam Khan said these things there.
Nazrul Islam Khan said, 'It is unfortunate that a lawyer, a public representative, a minister, a militant case has been filed against him. Arms cases have also been filed against Mr. Rizvi and us. A fascist government does that, but as history shows, they always get away; And people like Salam Pintu are freed.'
He said, 'In this free Bangladesh, we will build that Bangladesh in the coming days through free Salam Pintu. We fought the liberation war for Bangladesh. Bangladesh for which Shahid Zia took charge of the country on November 7. Begum Khaleda Zia has done development politics for Bangladesh.
Answering a question, Nazrul Islam Khan said, 'India claims to be the largest democracy in the world. We would expect a criminal to accompany him, to take his side; India will not do anything, which destroys the democratic character known as democracy.'
Addressing the Awami League, BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, 'Liar robbers who used Bangladesh as a mine of loot have been forced to flee today. Sheikh Hasina has organized everything to destroy those politicians who have done the politics of honesty, who have stood for the people, who have done all the democratic movements since the liberation war.'
Rizvi said, 'She (Sheikh Hasina) was never a person in favor of the liberation war; He was never in favor of the spirit of independence. Those who have always stood for the freedom of the country have always tried to harm them.'
He said, 'Today, the terrible fascist murderer who has bloodied every street, alley, path of Bangladesh just to stay in power. He ran away today. Those who sing his praises must believe that they do not believe in the independence of Bangladesh.
At that time, newly released BNP Vice Chairman Salam Pintu, Publicity Secretary Sultan Salauddin Tuku, Agriculturalist Shamimur Rahman Shamim and other leaders and activists were present.
