Minister of Information and Broadcasting Hasan Mahmud said, BNP said whether the final will be played in October, we are also sitting for the final. But before the final game, BNP will find that they have not 11 player in their playing team. In the next few weeks, you will see BNP players leaving the team and fleeing to other teams. Many others are on the runaway list, following the path taken by their leaders Shamser Mobin and Taimur Alam Khondokar.

The Information minister said this while addressing as the chief guest at the tri-annual conference of Rangunia Upazila Jubo League of Chattogram on Saturday (September 23) evening.

Hasan Mahmud said, today when the country is moving forward, various anti-patriotic conspiracies have started. BNP gave a few days of mass march, some days of standing, some days of walking, some days of running programs, some days of sitting programs. Now BNP is left to give a creeping program. It is seen that everyone is running away from the BNP while trying to bring down the government.

The information minister commented that BNP has now taken the form of an old car. He said, 'When the car gets old, it has to be started frequently. Otherwise the battery will die. Sometimes BNP's car gets stuck without starting, that's why sometimes they try to keep the party strong by walking, sitting, running programs.

Commenting on the fact that BNP's gatherings are gradually getting smaller, the Information Minister said, BNP has no trust in the people, their gatherings are gradually getting smaller. That is why they frequently sit in front of foreigners. The visa policy announced by the US states that only those who will oppose a free and fair election will come under this visa policy. Now BNP is announcing to block the elections. BNP says it will resist the election. Then who will come under this visa policy asked the information minister.

Hasan Mahmud also talks about the US visa policy. He said, neither the government nor our party is feeling any pressure on the visa policy. We welcome it. Due to this, pressure has been created on BNP. They protested to foreigners to no avail. A fair, free and impartial election will be held. There will be public participation in that election.

The Information and Broadcasting Minister said to foreign friends, this country is ours, we will decide how the elections will be held in this country, the Election Commission will decide. We don't have to teach anyone democracy. We know the practice of democratic norms. We also know how to conduct fair and impartial elections. The next elections in the country must be free, fair and impartial. And through landslide victory in that election, People's leader Sheikh Hasina will once again take oath as the head of government for the fifth time.

Awami Jubo League general secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil was the special guest in the conference under the chairmanship of Upazila Jubo League President Shamsuddoha Sikder Arju.

President Md. Sahabuddin said that the anti-liberation forces should not be able to come to power in any way.

He made this call at the opening ceremony of the Sixth National Conference of 'Sector Commanders Forum - Liberation War 71' at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital on Saturday (September 23).

The President said, I believe we will all move forward unitedly, and oppose those who are plotting.

He said that Bangladesh is moving forward with the spirit of liberation war under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the privileged daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Personal, family, social, political and state work should be carried forward through strong leadership, showing responsibility. The President also requested everyone, including the successors of the freedom fighters, to work unitedly to make the country's hard-earned independence meaningful and to reach the people's doorsteps.

President said, as a result of a long struggle, you participated in the liberation war. Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the mentor and leader of this movement. It is undeniable that many games have been played in the politics of Bangladesh, many leaders have come, but the winner of this game is the best son of the nation, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

He said, Bangabandhu believed in nationalist spirit. He knew how to consistently do politics. No chemistry worked in Bangabandhu's politics. Bangabandhu was the Father of the Nation – he understood and knew the heart of the people, he pointed out.

He also said that though Bangladesh got the desired independence through a long struggle, the plot of the anti-independence forces did not stop. They are still active. They have destroyed the constitution of the spirit of our liberation war. All this was done by the defeated enemies in 1971.

Executive President of Sectors Commanders Forum Bir Muktijodha Md. Nurul Alam, Advisor of Sector Commanders Forum Bir Muktijoddha Doctor Sarwar Ali, Vice President Bir Muktijoddha M, Hamid and General Secretary Bir Muktijoddha Harun Habib spoke on the occasion.
