BNP does not want religion-based division in country: Salahuddin
Salahuddin also said the people of Bangladesh will politically reject those who are trying to delay or obstruct the national election.
BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed has said that the BNP does not want religion-based division in the nation, nor does it want to use religion as a political tool.
"Constitutionally, we are all citizens. We should not become communities here, rather we should remain citizens. Our goal is to ensure the effective implementation of the rights of citizens as guaranteed by the constitution. There is no discrimination in the constitution based on religion," he said today (29 September) while visiting the Puja Mandap at Dhakeshwari Temple on behalf of the BNP on the occasion of Durga Puja.
"Various conspiracies are going on to destroy Bangladesh's communal harmony, but we have never allowed them to succeed in the past, and they will not succeed in the future either," he said.

Salahuddin also said the people of Bangladesh will politically reject those who are trying to delay or obstruct the national election.
"For the last 16 years, we have struggled to restore our democratic and voting rights. But since the election timeline was announced, we have noticed efforts to delay and obstruct the election by some quarters. The people of Bangladesh will politically reject those who try to stand in the way of this election," he said.
The BNP leader said an election atmosphere now prevails in Bangladesh as people are ready to cast their votes and potential candidates are reaching out to the voters.
