BNP, founded by the martyr president Ziaur Rahman with his own hands, is known as a liberal, progressive, and democratic party. The tidal wave of this party cannot be stopped by false and misleading information. Tarique Rahman is the leader who will build a new Bangladesh in the future. Inshallah, under his leadership, Bangladesh will dream anew.”
