Identify those creating division among anti-fascist parties

BNP Standing Committee member Abdul Moyeen Khan yesterday said those trying to create divisions among the political parties involved in the anti-fascist movement must be identified.

"Those who are creating division among the parties -- I believe it is intentional. We must identify who is doing this. I don't see any division here," he said while addressing a seminar organised by Jubo Dal, Swechhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal in the capital.

The BNP leader said political parties, students, and others all want to see a better and more moral society and that he sees no division in this shared aspiration.

He added, "Saying we will first reform, then deliver justice, then hold elections -- this is not how the world works. The interim government must realise this reality."

"If we all believe in democracy, then the democratic process must involve a fair and impartial election. People are the rightful decision-makers," he continued.

Referring to the desire for freedom from fascism and the recent political transition, Moyeen Khan warned, "But this change must not lead us into a new trap. My fear is that we may be falling into another trap."

Photographer Shahidul Alam, Hefazat-e-Islam Joint Secretary General Mamunul Haque, and Gano Adhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur also spoke.

The event was moderated by Mahdi Amin, adviser to the BNP acting chairman.
