A stable and peaceful region, built on shared interests and aspirations, is in the best interest of all.

— Tarique Rahman, BNP acting chairman

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has condemned the military attacks in the region and expressed condolences to the victims' families.

In a post on his verified Facebook page at 7:27pm yesterday, Tarique wrote, "We condemn the military attacks and extend condolences to the victim families."

Urging all stakeholders to exercise restraint, he called for taking steps towards a peaceful solution to the conflict.

"A stable and peaceful region, built on shared interests and aspirations, is in the best interest of all," the post read.

In another development, the National Citizen Party (NCP) expressed concern over the missile strike by India on Pakistan, stating that the attack has further escalated tensions between the two countries and pushed them to the brink of war.

"This development has dealt a direct blow to regional peace and stability in South Asia, which is deeply concerning," the party said in a statement.

"In the interest of peace and stability in the region, NCP urges both sides to exercise utmost patience and restraint," it said.

The party also alleged that amid this situation, thousands of fugitive Awami League leaders and activists currently staying in India pose a serious threat to Bangladesh's national security.

"They are reportedly engaged in subversive activities and illegal border crossings with the intention of harming Bangladeshi lives and property. These attempts are deliberate acts to sow chaos and anarchy," the statement added.

In light of these concerns, NCP called on the interim government and national security forces to strengthen vigilance, enhance institutional capacity, and carry out their responsibilities with the utmost professionalism.
