Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49382, member: 636"] BNP leader Tarique Rahman urged Bangladeshi citizens to keep fighting for justice during his Ashura message Saturday. The acting chairman compared the former Awami League government to ancient tyrants who crushed innocent people. Rahman said the fallen party ruled like dictators for sixteen brutal years. He accused them of stealing elections and denying people their basic voting rights. The opposition figure demanded that citizens never stop pushing for fair treatment. Rahman claimed the autocratic regime made people disappear and killed others without trials. He said corrupt officials smuggled national money to foreign countries during their rule. The BNP leader mentioned that party chief Khaleda Zia faced false charges and went to prison. Doctors refused to give her proper medical care during her illness. Rahman believes the government wanted her to die behind bars. The politician drew connections between modern struggles and the historic Battle of Karbala. Imam Hussain fought against powerful rulers who forgot about justice and humanity. His army died defending religious values against greedy leaders who only cared about power. Rahman said this ancient sacrifice still inspires oppressed people around the world today. He believes Bangladesh needs the same brave spirit to defeat modern tyrants. Rahman finished his statement by praising Imam Hussain's courage against corruption and injustice. The holy day represents deep sadness and respect for those who died fighting evil. Muslims and non-Muslims can learn from this timeless example of standing up to bullies. Rahman wants Bangladeshis to follow this path until real democracy returns to their country. [/QUOTE]
