Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, Tariq Rahman is our lighthouse. Who is leading us even from afar. He is going to do the impossible. The nation is united today under his leadership. People took to the streets on his call. Today I am going into a very hostile environment. People can’t talk here. can’t vote Even after 50 years of independence we have lost our rights. We still have to fight for our rights. Life has to be given.

He said, today the fascist government has been established for 15 years. Meanwhile, Tariq Rahman is showing us hope. His organizational skills are outstanding. He has made a place among people. Today we have to cross a mountain. Tariq Rahman has created a collective leadership within the party. Tariq Rahman gave the idea of ​​building a new state for the new generation. Today many of the young generation are not interested in politics. Tariq Rahman is showing them a new dream. People are participating in mass gatherings.

BNP Secretary General said, today we are going through bad times. A case has been filed against Pinak and Mushfiqul Fazal Ansari under the Digital Security Act. In fact, the government has lost confidence. There is no ground under their feet. They have become public enemies. They are now completely isolated.

Abdullah Al Noman said that Tariq Rahman will return to Bangladesh as a hero and lead the movement to restore democracy. Happy birthday to him.

He said that the nation should unite and bring down this government to stop the looting and theft of Sheikh Hasina’s people. There is no alternative to restoring democracy to meet the expectations of the people. Deshanayak Tariq Rahman is leading us in this movement. That is why people are flocking to our gatherings across the country. We need to be more united and continue to fight.

He said, we are currently in the struggle to overthrow the government. Tariq Rahman’s identity will be found in his activities. That he is a true statesman will be reflected in his actions. We have no choice but to fight to survive.

Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, Tariq Rahman’s birthday is celebrated as significant. He is leading the country in transition. As his mother, Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia, took the reins of the country.

We don’t celebrate Tariq Rahman’s birthday with grandeur. Especially since the imprisonment of country leader Begum Khaleda Zia in 2018, we do not celebrate her birthday in a grand manner. Because Tariq Rahman has the vision of a national hero. He currently refrains from cutting any kind of cake or celebrating his birthday during the Krantika period. This is the foresight of a statesman. Because he understands the heartache of the people of the country. He understands the suffering of the activists.

Rizvi said, many of our comrades are disappearing. That is why we are celebrating Tariq Rahman’s birthday in a sad atmosphere. We hope that we will be able to make changes in the coming days under the worthy leadership of Tariq Rahman, Inshallah.

We have seen various welfare activities of Acting Chairman Tariq Rahman. which are not usually made public. Many activists have had their hands, feet or other organs transplanted through the Ziaur Rahman Foundation. He is doing politics through social service and public welfare work. That’s why the sword of persecution came down on Tariq Rahman.

For the past 14 years, the leaders and activists of the opposition party have been subjected to persecution by the Awami League. The most popular person of the country has been arrested. After that Tariq Rahman is leading.
