We have begun walking on the highway of democracy along side other political parties and the people of the country. We must be vigilant so that no one can hinder this progress of democracy’.
Mentioning all the achievements of the leaders and activists in the progress of democracy, the BNP leader said, 'This success we have today is due to 18 years of sacrifice. The credit for our success is due to your sacrifice. We have achieved success in exchange for this sacrifice. We have to accept sacrifices until the elections. We have to keep our eyes and ears open. The country must move forward under the leadership of Tarique Rahman by confronting anti-democratic forces and ensuring victory in the future.’
‘Five to six thousand leaders and activists have been expelled for violating party discipline. If you want to be a BNP member you must be disciplined. There will be no place for indiscipline in BNP. No brotherly politics will be allowed in BNP, ’ Amir Khasru said,
