BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said that the enemies of Bangladesh are rearing their heads again.

``As time passes, a malicious attempt is being made to create an anarchic situation in the country. Unfortunately, we are seeing that a process to create anarchy is underway even through the dissemination of false propaganda on social media."

Mirza Fakhrul made the remarks while speaking to journalists on the occasion of the historic November 7 National Revolution and Solidarity Day at the party`s central office in Naya Paltan.

Recalling the various contributions of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman to nation-building, Fakhrul said, "Ziaur Rahman first turned his attention to political reform. He restored the multiparty democratic system from one-party rule, ensured press freedom, guaranteed the independence of the judiciary, and established the Supreme Judicial Council."

He described Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman as a rare statesman who initiated massive economic changes and gave momentum to the economy. "The foundation of our garments industry was laid by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman. He played a leading role in women`s education and empowerment and brought an unprecedented change in the field of education. A revolution in agriculture was ushered in through the import of high-yield varieties and making fertilizer management accessible to farmers."

The BNP leader added, "The philosophy of Bangladeshi Nationalism that Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman left behind can never be defeated. This is why the BNP has never been defeated, rising from the ashes like a phoenix."
