Staff Correspondent | April 20, 2025

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has stated that political instability is prevailing in Bangladesh.

He made this remark on Sunday at a discussion organized by the Workers’ Party in memory of BNP Vice Chairman Abdullah Al Noman at the Diploma Engineers Institute Hall in Kakrail, Dhaka.

Mirza Fakhrul told party leaders and activists, “We must remain alert and vigilant. The country has not yet made a democratic transition. We have not obtained an elected government or parliament.”

He further stated, “Today, we face a time of both testing and crisis. There is instability everywhere — in newspapers, television, talk shows — and many once-set issues have now become uncertain. The situation is unpredictable. Reform and elections are now the most discussed topics. It is everyone’s responsibility to engage in discussions with patience to overcome this crisis.”

Regarding the murder of student leader Parvez, Mirza Fakhrul said, “Those who brutally kill a dedicated student leader are not in favor of democracy. They are not in favor of this country, the working people, or democratic values.”

The discussion was chaired by the President of the Workers’ Party, Anwar Hossain, and was moderated by the party’s Secretary for Propaganda and Publications, Manjurul Islam Manju.

The event also saw speeches from BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, Vice Chairman Ahmed Azam Khan, and the Chairperson’s Special Assistant Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas.
