Chattogram:Chattogram District Council Administrator and BNP's Central Organizing Secretary Mahbubur Rahman Shamim declared that any conspiracy against Prime Minister Tarique Rahman equates to an anti-Bangladesh plot.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Shamim addressed a workers rally at the port city's CRB area, criticizing those who, after 17 years of rule characterized by violence against BNP leaders and activists and the denial of voting rights, now seek to destabilize the country. He emphasized that such actions are intended to undermine Tarique Rahman's efforts to stabilize Bangladesh.
Shamim urged vigilance against these plots, stressing that a conspiracy against Tarique Rahman effectively targets the nation itself. The rally, organized by the Bangladesh Nationalist Railway Workers and Employees Union, commemorated the historic National Revolution and Solidarity Day on November 7.
He specifically warned railway workers and employees to be on guard against incitements of sabotage in their sector, asserting that genuine workers would not wish harm upon their organization. He pointed out that certain groups are trying to instigate unrest and chaos under the guise of a workers movement.
Additionally, Shamim called for the return of deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to face trial under the existing extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India. He remarked that November 7 is a significant day for patriots who cherish independence and democracy, marking a commitment to safeguard the nation's sovereignty and the rights of its people.
The rally was presided over by Nationalist Railway Workers and Employees Union General Secretary Advocate MR Manzur, moderated by Organizing Secretary Abu Bakkar Siddique, with BNP's port city unit member secretary Nazimur Rahman delivering the keynote speech.
