We will all unite to protect sovereignty if needed: Mirza Abbas

BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas said that everyone will be united if unity is needed to protect independence and sovereignty.

He said this while talking to newsmen after paying his rich tribute to the Liberation War martyrs by placing wreaths at the National Memorial in Savar on the outskirts of Bangladesh capital Dhaka on Wednesday (March 26), marking the 55th Independence and National Day.

Regarding the schedule for the next elections, he said, “The chief adviser said the elections will be held in December. We want to keep our faith on him. We don’t believe that there no longer be election.”

When asked whether there is any discrepancy, this senior BNP leader said, “There is no disagreement. There is a conflict of interest, each party has its own ideological space and an ideology. Each speaks from its own ideology. I would not call it disagreement. If someone says disagreement, I would say this, if there ever comes a time when there is a need for greater national unity, if unity is needed to protect independence and sovereignty, then we will all be united. There is no mistake here. Now we may be talking differently for the party’s ideological interests, it may be. But when the need becomes visible, the people of Bangladesh will be united.”
