She is carrying out these conspiracies through her associates inside the country,” he said. Speaking at a memorial meeting, the BNP leader also urged the government and people to stay alert to prevent any further subversive acts by the fascist forces. “We have been witnessing incidents of sabotage in different areas — these are the acts of the fallen fascists. Why are there fires in various places, including the airport? The mastermind behind these acts of sabotage is Sheikh Hasina,” he claimed.

The BNP leader urged democratic forces to remain vigilant against such evil attempts. He called upon the few political parties that have taken to the streets with PR and other demands to step back for the sake of restoring democracy through united efforts. “All political parties that took part in the anti-fascist movement must now take a fresh pledge to ensure that the killer Sheikh Hasina is brought to justice,” the BNP leader said. He also said the activities of the ‘terrorist political party Awami League’ have already been banned and that the ban should remain in place.
