BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday urged law enforcement agencies not to harass people from religious minority communities.

"I want to say something very clearly to you [law enforcement agencies]. I receive a lot of news. No one should harass anyone from minority communities. We stand beside them and will remain beside them with all our strength," Fakhrul said at a programme held at the party chairperson's office in Gulshan.

Leaders from the Matua community, Shri Guru Sangha, Sanatan Sewa Ashram, and Hindu Sangha Samiti attended the event.

Reassuring the Hindu community, Fakhrul said, "From now on, you will find us beside you. We are with you, and we will remain with you."

"These are difficult times. Some people are trying to break the unity forged through the Liberation War of 1971 and the Uprising of 2024," said the BNP leader.

"They are attempting to create division by spreading various kinds of propaganda. We must remain vigilant against this," he added.

Meanwhile, speaking at another event, Fakhrul said many are frustrated as politicians have failed to remain united after the July uprising.

"After the mass uprising, a great opportunity was created to rebuild the country beautifully. But when we look around, we see our politicians losing unity. We hear the sound of disunity everywhere. That's why many of us are feeling frustrated," he said.
