Salahuddin’s Strong Criticism of Awami League
At the Comilla South District BNP conference on Saturday afternoon, September 27, 2025, Salahuddin Ahmed, a member of BNP’s standing committee, harshly criticized the ruling Awami League and government.
Salahuddin Ahmed said:
“আওয়ামী লীগের রাজনৈতিক মৃত্যু হয়েছে ঢাকায়, আর দাফন হয়েছে দিল্লিতে।”
Translation: “Awami League’s political death happened in Dhaka, and it has been buried in Delhi.”
Allegations Against Sheikh Hasina
Salahuddin further accused the Awami League of exploiting religion and the 1971 liberation legacy for political business:
“একটি দল জান্নাতের টিকিট বিক্রি করছে, তারা ধর্ম ব্যবসায়ী। এ দেশে ধর্ম নিয়ে রাজনৈতিক ব্যবসা চলবে না। ৭১ এর চেতনার ব্যবসা করতে করতে হাসিনা দেশ ছেড়ে পালিয়ে দিল্লিতে আশ্রয় নিয়েছে।”
Translation: “A party is selling heaven tickets; they are religious businessmen. Political business using religion will not be tolerated in this country. While exploiting the spirit of 1971, Hasina fled the country and took refuge in Delhi.”

Claims on July–August Uprising
He alleged that during the July–August uprising, Sheikh Hasina’s government carried out mass killings, shooting 1,400 people from helicopters and leaving 20,000 injured or disabled.
“এত রক্তের সিঁড়ি বেয়ে আমরা এখানে এসেছি। যারা গণহত্যা চালিয়েছে, তাদের বিচার এই দেশের মাটিতেই হবে।”
Translation: “We have come here over such a staircase of blood. Those who committed genocide will be judged on the soil of this country.”
