Dr Hasan Mahmud said BNP has been defeated on December 10 last. In continuation of this defeat, BNP will again fail in the next parliamentary elections, he said.

"Our oath is to eliminate Pakistani collaborator BNP-Jamaat evil force. We will build a Smart Bangladesh side by side with eliminating the evil force," Dr Hasan said. 

He said BNP announced that they would say good bye to the AL government on December 10 but they themselves have been defeated on that day.

Bahauddin Nasim said BNP is a party of terrorists. The country and its people are never safe to BNP, he said.

He urged the leaders and workers to remain alert as BNP-Jamaat clique is again mounting up.
