BNP leaders and activists expressed anger after Upazila Primary Education Officer Hasan Mohammad Junaid did not mention late President Ziaur Rahman in his welcome speech during the National Revolution and Solidarity Day discussion in Mohongonj, Netrokona. Following tension in the auditorium, the education officer later expressed regret for his speech.
Organized by the upazila administration, the discussion meeting was held on Saturday afternoon at the Mohongonj Upazila Auditorium cum Multipurpose Hall. Although local MP Lutuzzaman Babar was listed as the chief guest on the banner, he was not present. Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Amena Khatun, Mohongonj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Hafizul Islam Harun, Upazila BNP President Selim Karnayen, General Secretary Golam Ershadur Rahman, and other officials attended the event.
As discontent arose among BNP leaders over the omission, the education officer returned to the stage to express regret and highlighted the significance of November 7 and Ziaur Rahman's leadership, which normalized the situation. Municipal BNP organizing secretary Fariduzzaman Farid and upazila BNP president Selim Karnayen confirmed the matter, while the education officer stated that Zia's name did not come up due to delivering an immediate speech without prior preparation.
