BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Sunday alleged some political parties are making misleading statements having fallen into a trap set by a neighbouring country.

"The BNP will continue its movement until voting rights and democracy are restored in the country," Tarique said while addressing a public rally at Kalaroa Football Ground in Satkhira through a virtual platform. 

The rally was arranged on the occasion of the recent jail-release of BNP publication secretary Habibul Islam Habib.

"The dictator has fallen. But conspiracies still continue. We've seen in the last few days that some political parties or organisations got misled and made some remarks. The political parties or organisations have stepped into the trap of a neighbouring country. So, they're spreading confusion today and making such words like this," he said.

The BNP acting chairman urged the democracy-loving people of the country to stay vigilant to thwart the conspiracies.

"The conspiracies, which were from inside and outside the country [against the democracy of Bangladesh] in the past, still continue. They, in no way, want the people of this country to get back their democratic rights," he said.

Citing that the Liberation War in 1971 and the fall of a dictator in 1990, he said the people of this country ousted one of the (strongest) dictators in the world again in 2024. "They not only overthrew the dictator, but also drove the dictator out of this country, he said.

"Let us take an oath today - we, BNP, will take the people with us and restore the lost democracy of the people in this country by breaking the poisonous teeth of all conspiracies. Our movement will continue until the democracy of the people of Bangladesh is restored," he said.

The BNP acting chairman said the restoration of democracy and the improvement of the fate of the people would be his party's commitment and politics.

He said BNP always does politics for development and raising production of the country. The party wants to identify and utilise all potentials in every area of the country, he added.

About the canal-digging programme of BNP founder late president Ziaur Rahman, Tarique said if BNP gets the mandate of the people, the party will reintroduce the programme to face floods, conserve water for the dry season and ensure better irrigation in the country.
