The Acting Chairman of BNP said that this event is being held without fear and freedom after many years in an atmosphere free of disappearances, murders, kidnappings or mirror rooms. Very easily, but today such a beautiful environment was not created. For the last 15 years, the democracy-loving people of the country have continued to struggle for the creation of this free and independent environment. In the continuation of our movement, through the mass uprising of lakhs and crores of people, we have achieved this free and comfortable environment in exchange for the extreme sacrifice of thousands of martyrs and numerous brothers and sisters. I strongly believe that the people of the country will remember their sacrifices for the rest of their lives, who were killed in this bloody mass coup to establish free democracy and human rights.

Tariq Rahman said that the undemocratic and illegal fallen government has tried to create a communal situation in the country at various times to divert public attention from their own rule and exploitation. Some are still running. But they will not be allowed to succeed in anything.
