Resist conspiracies by local, foreign evil forces: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Thursday urged people to resist the conspiracies by local and foreign evil forces imbued with the spirit of Shaheed Jehad to protect the country’s independence and sovereignty and uphold democracy. Naziruddin Jehad, an activist of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), was shot dead in the capital during the movement against autocratic Ershad on October 10, 1990. JCD, the student associate body of BNP, and Shaheed Jehad Smriti Parishad observe October 10 as ‘Shaheed Jehad Day’, according to a news agency.
