BNP vows Quran-based laws ahead of Bangladesh’s pivotal election
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has reaffirmed its dedication to laws rooted in the Quran and Sunnah. Speaking on Sunday morning, Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stressed the party’s long-standing commitment to Islamic principles while calling for unity ahead of the election. Fakhrul began by honouring two martyrs, Osman Hadi and Abu Sayeed of Rangpur, who lost their lives during the July movement. He then highlighted the BNP’s role in safeguarding Bangladesh’s religious values, cultural heritage, and traditions. Addressing supporters, he warned against divisive conspiracies aimed at splitting the nation. The 75-year-old leader also urged voters to back the BNP, stating this would likely be his final election due to his age. The party’s goal, he explained, is to secure peace and ensure proper religious practices through the upcoming vote. Fakhrul dismissed attempts to misrepresent the BNP’s position on Islamic law, insisting the party’s stance remains clear and unwavering. The BNP’s renewed pledge comes as it seeks public support in the election. Fakhrul’s remarks underscore the party’s focus on Islamic governance and national unity. Voters will soon decide whether to back its vision for the country’s future.
