BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Sunday urged all to unite to end political vengeance, ensuring that no one's life or family is destroyed due to political differences.
“Let’s unite to end political vengeance and open a new chapter in history, where no one’s life or family will be destroyed because of political differences,” he said in a post on his verified Facebook account.
The BNP leader came up with the post after the High Court acquitted him in two cases related to the August 21 grenade attack.
“The beauty of truth is that it inevitably triumphs over propaganda and conspiracy, giving us faith that, eventually, justice and fairness prevail. We pledge to uphold the spirit of democracy that thrives on diversity of faiths, beliefs, and ideologies, empowering the people of Bangladesh to define their own fate through electoral participation,” Tarique said.
In that journey, he said, they aspire to establish the rule of law, human rights, and freedom of expression, safeguarding the rights and liberties of every citizen and building an inclusive, tolerant, and rules-based society.
BNP celebrates Tarique, others' acquittal in Aug 21 grenade attack case
Earlier in the day, the High Court (HC) had overturned the verdict of a lower court in two cases filed over the August 21 grenade attack, acquitting all convicts, including BNP's Acting Chairperson Tarique Rahman and former state minister for home affairs Lutfozzaman Babar.
An HC bench comprising Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain delivered the judgement on Sunday.
The court also pronounced the charge sheet in the case illegal.
