District BNP leaders issued this warning at a press conference organized at Pabna Press Club on Monday (July 13) afternoon.
The press conference was organized to dismiss as 'false and baseless' the allegations that they had given shelter to Awami League leader Abu Saeed Chairman and other Awami League leaders accused in the killing of two students in Pabna during the July mass uprising.
In a written statement, District BNP Member Secretary Advocate Maksudur Rahman Masud Khondkar said that on July 9, NCP's northern region chief coordinator Sarjis Alam and chief convener Sarwar Alam Tushar conducted a political tour in Pabna Sadar and Chatmohar. The police administration was informed beforehand to complete the program of a democratic party peacefully, and BNP also showed a cooperative attitude.
He alleged that during various meetings and rallies of that tour, false, baseless, and motivated statements were made about Pabna-5 MP Advocate Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, which are contrary to political etiquette and human values.
Masud Khondkar said that these statements must be withdrawn immediately and an apology must be made to Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas and the people of Pabna. Otherwise, the people of Pabna will declare Sarwar Alam Tushar and Sarjis Alam unwanted in any meeting or rally in the district.
In the press conference, he also claimed that the statements of NCP leaders match those of Jamaat-e-Islami. According to him, there is similarity in the type and language of statements of the two organizations, from which the public is understanding the matter.
Present at the press conference were BNP Central Executive Committee member Zahurul Islam Babu, District BNP Senior Joint Convener Abdus Samad Khan Montu, former Joint Convener Abdullah Al Mahmud Mannan Master, Joint Conveners Anisul Haque Babu, Nur Mohammad Masum Boga, Abu Obaida Sheikh Tuhin, former District Jubo Dal President Mosabbir Hossain Sanju, and current Convener Ilias Ahmed Himel Rana, among other leaders.
Earlier, on July 10, during a march in Natore, Sarwar Alam Tushar alleged that Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas was giving shelter to Awami League leader Abu Saeed Chairman and several other Awami League leaders accused in the incident of firing on students and people in Pabna on August 4, 2024. Sarjis Alam also made a post on his Facebook page with the same allegation.
