DHAKA, Oct 7, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today said there is a deep conspiracy to divert the national election in a different direction. 

“I urge the country's teaching community to remain vigilant so that no one can divert the election in different direction. You have to play a big role in the upcoming election,” he told a teachers' grand rally on the occasion of the World Teachers' Day at Suhrawardy Udyan here.

Mirza Fakhrul said, 'Our goal is one, we want to build a happy and prosperous Bangladesh as dreamed by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman. Our country is one, our path is one, that is Bangladesh.”
