Through the sepoy-mass uprising, hegemony, dictatorship, one-party rule, and the prevailing anarchy in public life came to an end, guiding the country from an unstable environment back into an orderly state. The BNP is currently passing through a critical time. Anti-independence forces and neo-Razakars are desperate to corner the government. To thwart them, all members of the BNP must unite and work together."
