Sharsha Upazila BNP General Secretary Nuruzzaman Liton declared that “there will be no more fascist regimes on the soil of Bengal.” He said the people of Bangladesh no longer want to see any fascist autocrats rise again in the country. “Those whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people will never be allowed to succeed with any of their programs in Sharsha,” he warned.
