Tarique Rahman has warned that the conspirators have not stopped and that holding the parliamentary elections will "not be easy".
The BNP acting chief made the remarks while attending a workshop virtually from London.
“I have said earlier that holding an election will not be so easy. The conspiracy has not stopped,” he said.
He said incidents that occurred over the last few days, particularly the one that occurred in Dhaka on Friday and the attack on a Chattogram BNP leader, indicate his apprehensions are coming true.
He warned that the country is “destined for destruction” if all fail to unite and resolve differences, he warned.
Tarique’s comments about election conspiracies came a day after the shooting of Sharif Osman bin Hadi, who was shot in the head while travelling in a rickshaw. Doctors said Hadi’s condition is “critical”. He had announced to contest the general election from Dhaka-8.
On Nov 5, BNP candidate Ershad Ullah came under an attack from gunmen during the campaign. The candidate himself was shot in the incident that also saw one get killed.
Warning that the situation might worsen, Tarique reminded his party leaders and activists that their party brought back the country from the brink of collapse many times in the past.
The BNP has the power to resist the conspirators, he said, calling for sacrifice from the leaders and activists to build a peaceful and just country for their future generations.
