BNP does not foresee a constitutional or political crisis resulting from the protest to remove President Mohammed Sahabuddin.

Amid the growing demand for the President's resignation, BNP senior leaders met Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday. 

BNP Standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, along with BNP Standing Committee members Amir Khosru Mahmud and Salahuddin Ahmed, discussed establishing a government of the people through a national election after completing the ongoing reforms. 

They also addressed public suffering caused by hikes in essential items, urging the government to play a more effective role.

Speaking to reporters in front of the Chief Adviser's residence after the meeting on Wednesday, Nazrul Islam said they will tackle any plots by the cohorts of the deposed fascist regime unitedly, together with all pro-democratic political parties and organisations. 

"We're observing that the associates of the ousted fascist regime are making various efforts and resorting to different tactics to create a constitutional and political crisis in the country. We think national unity needs to be more consolidated to restore democracy and the change we achieved through the long struggles at the cost of many lives," he added.

Nazrul said a unity of all political parties, professional bodies, and all the organisations of students and youths needs to be forged. "We also all need to be alert so that no one can create any new political or constitutional crisis in the country."

He said the government should intensify the reform process and complete it promptly based on consensus.

The BNP leader said the government also needs to resolve the persisting problems people are facing and ultimately restore democracy, which is the main desire of the recent mass movement.

"We also discussed that if the associates of the deposed autocrats make any evil efforts to create a constitutional and political crisis, all the pro-democratic political parties and different organisations that have been in the movement will face this crisis in unison," he said.

Later in the day, Salahuddin Ahmed talking to reporters at the BNP chairperson's office in Gulshan, urged all to remain alert to prevent the cohorts of fascism from causing trouble in the country through various plots. Salahuddin reiterated that the nation does not expect a constitutional or political crisis from the President's removal. He urged everyone to remain alert to prevent the cohorts of fascism from causing trouble in the country. "The presidency is the highest constitutional position. If it becomes vacant, it will create a constitutional and national crisis," he stated. He emphasised that delaying the transition to democracy through a state crisis would go against the nation's desires.

Salahuddin called for vigilance to prevent the deposed fascists and their associates from causing chaos. He emphasised that the nation stands united and is prepared to confront these challenges together. When asked if the BNP seeks the President's removal, Salahuddin replied, "Vacancy in the President's post would create a state and constitutional crisis at this moment, which the nation doesn't expect."

A group of students and people is demanding the President's resignation after Matiur Rahman Chowdhury, the chief editor of Manab Zamin, claimed that the President told him he had not received any resignation letter from former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul accused the President of lying about not receiving Hasina's resignation letter, suggesting that his statement constituted a breach of his oath of office.

Earlier in the day, BNP senior leaders met Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus and called for strengthening national unity to foil any attempts to create a constitutional and political crisis. They discussed establishing a government of the people through a national election after completing the ongoing reforms. They also urged everyone to remain cautious to ensure that a new constitutional or political crisis does not arise in the country.
