Mahbubul Alam Hanif said when the country is marching forward, the defeated force of Liberation War again started hatching conspiracy.

"In this month of victory, we want to announce that Pakistani cohorts BNP-Jamaat must be eliminated from the country," he said.

Dipu Moni said: "From this victory procession, it will be our pledge that we will root out the evil force by any cost. We will not allow anyone to hatch conspiracy centering our country and our independence."

Hasan Mahmud said BNP has been defeated on 10 December last. In continuation of this defeat, BNP will again fail in the next parliamentary elections, he said.

"Our oath is to eliminate Pakistani collaborator BNP-Jamaat evil force. We will build a Smart Bangladesh side by side with eliminating the evil force," Hasan said.

He said BNP announced that they would say good bye to the AL government on 10 December but they themselves have been defeated on that day.

Bahauddin Nasim said BNP is a party of terrorists. The country and its people are never safe to BNP, he said.

He urged the leaders and workers to remain alert as BNP-Jamaat clique is again mounting up.
