Shantiganj ( Sunamganj  ) Correspondent

A discussion meeting was held on Saturday afternoon at the Jhilmil Auditorium in Shantiganj Upazila of Sunamganj to mark National Revolution and Solidarity Day, organized by the Shantiganj Upazila BNP and its associate bodies.

The event was presided over by Upazila BNP Convener Haji Jalal Uddin and jointly conducted by Joint Conveners Rowshan Khan Sagar and Abul Kashem Nayeem. Member of Parliament for the Sunamganj-3 constituency Mohammad Koyes Ahmed attended the program as the chief guest.

Addressing the gathering, MP Mohammad Koyes Ahmed stated that fascists never return once they flee, emphasizing that murderous fascists should be addressed as such. He remarked that just as the father of murderous Hasina fled to safety leaving the general public on the battlefield, Hasina followed in her father's footsteps and fled the country, asserting that there is no place for her in Bangladesh.

He urged the leaders and activists of the BNP and its associate organizations to take a pledge on National Revolution and Solidarity Day to firmly resist those spreading false rumors about her return on social media.

Highlighting the historic context of November 7, he noted that late President Ziaur Rahman was a tested soldier and proponent of multi-party democracy, which led the unified sepoy-people to liberate him and place him in state governance. He added that following this legacy, the people of the country have now placed BNP leader Deshnayok Tarique Rahman in power as the guardian of democracy. He called upon party leaders and activists to remain united and assist in the government's development initiatives.
