Bagerhat, Sept 12 (V7N) – BNP leaders have called for unity within the party ahead of Bangladesh’s upcoming national election, urging members to overcome misunderstandings and divisions to fulfill the expectations of the people.
Speaking at a large rally in Rampal on Friday, Bagerhat district BNP Joint Convener Lion Dr. Sheikh Faridul Islam emphasized the need to implement the 31-point program announced by the party’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
