A discussion meeting on the spirit and heritage of National Revolution and Solidarity Day, a colorful rally, tree sapling distribution, and a reception for meritorious students were held in Shibganj, Chapainawabganj. These day-long programs were organized on Saturday (November 14) on the premises of Shibganj Government Model High School under the initiative of the Former Chhatradal Unity Council.
Held in the spirit of the November 7, 1975 National Revolution and Solidarity Day, the event saw the participation of former Chhatradal leaders and activists, local political figures, and people from various walks of life. Alongside the discussions, over 200 meritorious students were encouraged with honorary crests and tree saplings of various species.
The day’s program began in the morning with the hoisting of the national and party flags, followed by a colorful rally that paraded through the main roads of Shibganj. After the rally, a discussion meeting was held, presided over by Mohammad Ali, Convener of the Former Chhatradal Unity Council. Speakers at the event included the organization’s Member Secretary Professor Dr. M. Golam Arif, Advisor Saidur Rahman, Joint Conveners Ahsan Habib, Abul Bashar Solaiman Swapan, Masud Rana, Jarjis Alam, Zahidul Islam Zahid, Mashiur Rahman Bokul, Khadimul Islam, and Shahid Mia, among other leaders. Former Chairman of Chakkirti Union Sarwar-E-Alam was also present at the occasion.
Speakers emphasized that the BNP in Chapainawabganj must be made more organized and united. They stressed eliminating internal disunity, divisions, and leadership crises to reorganize the party with qualified and dedicated leaders and activists, while strengthening grassroots organizational activities to bolster the party and its leadership.
They further noted that in the past, internal disunity within the district prevented party candidates from achieving expected results in all three parliamentary constituencies. Therefore, everyone must set aside differences and unite to face upcoming political challenges, including preparing for victory by selecting single candidates at the union level. They urged freeing the party from sycophancy and vested interests to truly reflect public aspirations.
