Election must be held by February: Mirza Fakhrul 

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said, “Our goal now is one-the national election must be held in February 2026. That is what Dr. Muhammad Yunus said in his London meeting with Tarique Rahman. There will be no exception to this. Conspirators are trying to stop the election in Bangladesh.”

The BNP secretary general said this at a rally prior to a protest procession in front of Nayapaltan central office of BNP on Monday afternoon.

BNP North-South organized the program jointly to demand exemplary punishment for the killing of Lalchand Sohag in Mitford area and to protest the falsehood and propaganda against the party's Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman. 

Strongly condemning the brutal killing of Lalchand Sohag in Mitford area on Wednesday, Fakhrul demanded exemplary punishment of those involved with the incident thorough investigation.  “Those who are doing this (brutal murder) are doing so to destroy Bangladesh,” he said.

Fakhrul urged the party leaders and workers not to fall into someone's trap as evil attempts are under to provoke the BNP activists to fall into their trap.

“We want to inform everyone that we have no compromise on the issue of democracy. I condemn all those so-called political leaders who have spoken obscene and inaudible words about Tarique Rahman,” he said.

“Their plan is very terrible as they want to create instability in Bangladesh again, to create unrest, to create division, to bring Bangladesh to a place where democracy will be lost again,” he said.

He urged the party activists to face all the situations patiently.
