Staff Reporter

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has raised concerns over the neutrality of the interim government, claiming that it has failed to maintain impartiality in several areas.

Speaking at a discussion organized to commemorate Shaheed Asad Day at the National Press Club on Thursday, January 23, Fakhrul said, “I stated this yesterday as well when a journalist asked me about it. If the interim government cannot remain neutral, a neutral government will be necessary during the election period.”

Explaining his concerns, Fakhrul added, “There are reasons for my statement. We are observing that the interim government is not being neutral in certain matters. I urge and expect the interim government to uphold their impartiality and work to resolve the ongoing crises in the country.”

The discussion was presided over by educationist Professor Mahbub Ullah and moderated by Habibur Rahman Rizu, member secretary of the Bhasani Followers Council.

Other speakers at the event included BNP Advisory Council members Aman Ullah Aman and Zahir Uddin Swapan, Joint Secretary General Khairul Kabir Khokon, Ganosamhati Andolan Chief Coordinator Zonayed Saki, and representatives from factions of Jatiya Ganatantrik Party (JAGPA). Shaheed Asad’s younger brother, Azizullah M. Nuruzzaman Noor, also addressed the gathering.
