Jamaat is using hired freedom fighters to make a new statement: Salahuddin

Staff Correspondent

Calling Jamaat-e-Islami a fraudulent party, BNP National Standing Committee member and candidate for the paddy sheaf in Cox’s Bazar-1 constituency, Salahuddin Ahmed said that they are now trying to bring freedom fighters on hire and give them a new lease of life. He said this while addressing an election rally held at the Shaheed Abdul Hamid Municipal Bus Terminal Ground in Cox’s Bazar on Monday (February 9) afternoon as the chief guest.

Salahuddin Ahmed said that Jamaat does not believe in the country’s independence. Now, a new narrative of the Liberation War is being heard from their mouths again. He claimed that those who do not believe in the country’s independence will never present the correct history; rather, they will propagate distorted history. He further said that to prove their case, they are now trying to bring in freedom fighters on rent and show that they also have freedom fighters. He also commented that they are deceiving the people in this way.
Calling for voting with the paddy sheaf symbol in the interest of protecting democracy, the constitution and the country’s independence and sovereignty, he said that BNP has always worked as a force for independence. Whenever democracy, the constitution and the country’s sovereignty have been under threat, BNP has played a role in protecting them.

Referring to the unorganized activities of party leaders and activists, he said, “From the day after the 12th, on the 13th, action will be taken against those who have committed injustice, crimes, or harassed people.”

Salahuddin Ahmed’s wife and former MP Advocate Hasina Ahmed, their eldest son Sayeed Ibrahim Ahmed, Cox’s Bazar District BNP General Secretary Shamim Ara Swapna, former Pekua Upazila Parishad Chairman Shafayet Aziz Chowdhury Raju, District Olamadal President Ali Hasan Chowdhury, Chakaria Upazila BNP General Secretary M Mubarak Ali and BNP leader Sajjadul Kabir Chowdhury, among other leaders, also spoke at the public meeting held under the chairmanship of Chakaria Upazila BNP General Secretary.
