History of Bangladesh Nationalist Party The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (Bengali:Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Dal), commonly referred to as the BNP, is the mainstream center-right political party in Bangladesh. It is currently the largest opposition party in the Parliament of Bangladesh. The entry of late President Ziaur Rahman in Bangladeshi political stage, was sudden. But it was a must to happen. In order to fill the gap of presence of a righteous and honest leader, Ziaur Rahman entered into Bangladeshi politics as a response to the demand posed by the time and the nation. Ziaur Rahman did not enter into politics from the back door or by any midnight intriguing drama; he entered the politics as all the nation, civilians, armed forces and literally every single living people wanted him to take the charge of political fate of Bangladesh on a shiny morning, November 07, 1975. He became a leader by the people and for the people; and it is none but only the common mass people of Bangladesh - who made him, a leader. The time when Ziaur Rahman became the leader by the people, there was not a single political party in Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by forming a single party Bakshal had banned all other political activities and parties from Bangladesh and wanted only to run one party ruling system in country. Democratic rights of the people of the country and the democratic practices were forced to put into exile. The legal system, courts and newspaper, all were controlled. Each and every human rights were violated at gross. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, self promoted himself from prime minister to president and became only exerciser of godly power and possessions. He extended his governments tenure to the power for three years without any vote or public referendum. Even after his long and historical records of being active organizer and leader of so many movements for the democracy and independence of the country; Sheikh Mujibur Rahman eventually proved himself only to be the father of all autocratic dictatorship by establishing one party ruling system - Bakshal. All these activities were against the spirit of our liberation war. The people of the newly independent and liberated country were greatly hurt and shocked to find themselves deprived of their rights. Using this situation to their benefits, an anti-sheikh mujib group lead by Kh. Mushtaq - a close associate of sheikh Mujib and with the help of some misguided army group captured the power by a bloody coup. A great revolutionary change took place by the joint efforts of army and civilian against these intrigues, on 7TH November 1975. This change was for the seek of the independence and liberty of the country, for multi party democratic system, for human rights, for democracy, for politics and for development and for production. That change was against military ruling and for democratic ruling. Ziaur Rahman, declarer of our liberation war, was at the leading position of this change movement. To make this change possible, Ziaur Rahman allowed politics in Bangladesh, introduced democratic practices in Bangladesh and widened the opportunity to form political parties in Bangladesh. He restored human rights, restored peoples right to speech and liberated the newspapers, freed the legal system in the country. To foster the changes to more meaningful one, Ziaur Rahman formed a party, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Muslim League was leading the movement to found a country, Pakistan. Later they could not revive up their politics to meet the demand of the time. Awami League was the pioneer in our movement for independence and liberation war of Bangladesh. But later they failed to play positive roles as a political party. BNP was born, on the background of awami failure, as a political party to contribute in the national politics from a independent and sovereign countrys perspective. This party has created a new stream in the politics of Bangladesh with long history of struggle, peace and prosperity for last 31 years. The party is seasoned with experiences. Numerous martyr strengthened our oaths. We are walking with the flag of national unity raised above all against all the clashes, chaos and divisions. We created, developed, nurtured a true nationalism irrespective of religion, class, society, ethnic group. colors, landscape and professions. With our respect for religion kept ever flowing, we shall protect and protest all extreme racism. We will always stick to our national interest and prestige. We are not leftist nor rightist. Who stays on our left is leftist, who stays on the right is rightist. Our position is on the left of the rightist and on the right of the leftist. Our position is at the center and we are at the heart of Bangladeshi politics. Bangladesh Nationalist Party is the main stream of Bangladeshi politics. BNP is the national political organization of Bangladesh.
