BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir strongly criticized the enthusiasm exhibited by Awami League leaders regarding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's selfie with US President Joe Biden, suggesting that they should wear this selfie around their necks.
He made these remarks during a program at the Dhaka Reporters Unity on Sunday.
Mirza Fakhrul said: “The Awami League has reached a point of bankruptcy and destitution where they are celebrating as if they have already won the election just because they took a selfie with Biden.”
He further remarked that it is unfortunate for the nation that people focus on trivial matters instead of addressing fundamental issues.
He referred to a statement by Obaidul Quader, asking what Fakhrul would say now. Fakhrul responded by advising them to hang the picture around their necks, suggesting that it would be beneficial for them.
He pointed out that some days ago, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had mentioned that America was demanding the transfer of Saint Martin Island to them. According to Fakhrul, she stated that since America was not getting the island, they wanted to oust her from power. He questioned whether this meant that they had handed over Saint Martin Island.
Referring to the prime minister, the BNP secretary general also mentioned her statement that America sought to establish a foothold in the Asia Pacific region to dominate the entire area, including occupying countries and launching attacks. He emphasized that America was a superpower, unlike a third-world country like Bangladesh.
Fakhrul added that the sanctions against RAB remained unchanged despite the selfies, and the visa policy had not been altered. Bangladesh was not invited to host a new democracy convention for this purpose.
He concluded by urging the people of Bangladesh to secure their victory through voting and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process. Fakhrul emphasized that without a fair election, no Biden or selfies could save them.
