Warning India, BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas said, 200 million people in Bangladesh are soldiers. If Bangladesh has to be occupied today, then the country will have to be occupied by shedding the blood of 200 million people.

He gave this warning at a discussion titled 'Freedom, Democracy and Voting Rights in the Current Context' organized by the Independence Forum at the National Press Club in the capital this Sunday morning.

Criticizing Indian leaders, Mirza Abbas said, "They say that 'we have made Bangladesh independent'. India did not make our country independent. We say, we have made Bangladesh independent, rather you (India) divided Pakistan. For your sake, not for our sake."

Criticizing the Indian media, this BNP Standing Committee member said, they said, they want to create two Hindu states. They say, 'they want to occupy Chittagong'. Everyone says that Bangladesh is a small, poor country. But I think Bangladesh is a liberal and very strong country. India should remember one thing, we have fewer soldiers. I will tell them to think, we fought without training in 1971. Even after Hasina fell in 24, we, our sons and daughters, fought without weapons. 200 million people in Bangladesh are soldiers. If Bangladesh has to be captured today, then we will have to capture the country by shedding the blood of 200 million people.

Stating that the Awami League has destroyed all the history of the country in 15 years, Mirza Abbas said, the Awami League has destroyed the correct history in the last 15 years. Martyr President Ziaur Rahman is the proclaimer of Bangladesh's independence. The country's sector commander's office was in India. Only Ziaur Rahman's office was in Sylhet. The Awami League is written in the history books of independence. They did not participate directly in the war. We directly participated in the frontline war.

Drawing a picture of torture during the Awami government, he said, we still have to go to court. We have to walk around the court's balcony. Insha Allah, we will get justice at the right time. There is no year in which I have not been in jail.

Mirza Abbas said, there is a conspiracy to embarrass this government. But some political parties, including us, are working to make this government profitable.

He also said, but a group is associating BNP with Awami League. There are some YouTubers in the country who have no work to do. We have proven that we are a democratic party. Because we have handed over power smoothly. If Awami League had handed over power smoothly, the country would not be in this situation today.

The discussion meeting was chaired by Swadhinata Forum President Abu Naser Muhammad Rahmatullah and was attended by BNP Vice Chairman Barkat Ullah Bulu, Joint Secretary General Abul Salam Azad, General Secretary of the People's Rights Council Rashed Khan and others.
