DHAKA, Nov 27, 2024 (BSS)- Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman today called upon the people to remain patient  and calm in the current situation of the country.
 
"Give the government a little more time. Show a little more patience. Stay calm. Keep a careful and vigilant eye on the situation,” he said in a statement on the current political context, according to a press release of BNP.

Tarique Rahman urged all irrespective of party affiliation, religion, or caste to overcome the obstacles of the conspirators prudently. Otherwise,  the freedom-loving people will have to pay heavy price, he said.

The BNP acting chairman said that a volatile situation has been prevailing across the country due to placing of demands by the people who were deprived of their rights for long as well as the vengeance of fugitive dictator in post-uprising period.

Tarique Rahman said that the recent events in Dhaka and other parts of the country should not be seen as isolated incidents.

He expressed concern over the growing activities of those who are destabilizing the state’s stability, calling it alarming.

Tarique Rahman said the ousted government has carried out irregularities in different sectors of the country in last 15 years. They had snatched away all rights of people, he said.

He said people of different classes and professions are coming down on the streets to restore those lost rights and break the mountain of irregularities in a dictatorship-free environment.

Using the movement as a shield, the conspirators have indulged in mischievous attempts to create anarchy in the country by mixing with the agitators, he claimed.

He alleged that conspirators are using the issues related to people's rights to hatch conspiracy.

Tarique Rahman said a coordinated attempt to create chaos across the country is becoming evident gradually with growing signs of intolerance among the public.

“Why the students, who played a courageous role in the movement against the mafia government, suddenly become so vengeful against each other? This question has appeared big in public mind,” he said.

He said the law enforcement agencies must closely investigate whether anyone is taking advantage of the situation to 'sabotage' the people's legitimate movement. Surveillance of the situation must be increased to this end, he added.

He said the government should also deeply investigate whether the ousted dictator is involved in an attempt to create a communal situation in the country.

He pointed to the associates of the fugitive autocrat, claiming they are waiting for an opportunity to capitalize on the situation.
