DHAKA, Feb 11, (V7N): BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman today expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the country’s esteemed Pirs, Mashayekh, Alims, Ulema, Imams and Khatibs for their unwavering support to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

According to a press release signed by the Chairman’s Press Secretary Saleh Shibly, Tarique Rahman conveyed his sincere appreciation and congratulations to senior Islamic scholars after media reports on Wednesday stated that prominent religious leaders from all schools of thought had extended their support to the BNP.

The BNP Chairman said that at this historic juncture for the nation, the position taken by the country’s top Islamic scholars would provide proper guidance to the people.

“This clear stance of the Alim-Ulema community will play a vital role in preventing misinformation and propaganda against BNP, a party that believes in Islamic values,” he said.

He further added, “With the national election on the horizon, I believe this will help the people of the country receive the right direction in establishing their political and social rights.”

Tarique Rahman once again thanked the respected Alims and Ulema and sought their continued cooperation in building a safe, peaceful and humane Bangladesh.
