The State Minister made the call during a rally organized by Nandail Upazila unit of the BNP here, to mark the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.

Speaking as chief guest, the State Minister said, "You fled after killing people, and now you are merely issuing threats via social media. However, the people of the country have seen through these threats. You must return to the country now. Do not come back in secret; return openly, we will even provide the ticket if needed."

He asserted that those responsible for disenfranchising the people, engaging in corruption and plunder, carrying out enforced disappearances and murders over the past years and shedding the blood of women and children who were martyred during the July mass uprising, will face justice on the soil of the country.

He further warned that those who have fled will be brought to the dock handcuffed.

Addressing local party activists and the public, the State Minister stated that the country is currently advancing toward development under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. 

He urged everyone to resist any conspiracies or acts of chaos orchestrated by those seeking to obstruct this progress. He also called on the public to promptly hand over any suspicious individuals to law enforcement agencies.

Highlighting various development initiatives in Nandail, Yasser Khan noted that 186 roads in the area have already been paved with brick soling, with allocations secured for an additional 104 roads. Furthermore, grants totaling taka 115 million have been obtained for the renovation of various roads.

Thirty-six houses have been provided for the rehabilitation of the homeless and there are plans to construct another 104 houses this year. Furthermore, he mentioned that the construction of bridges at Jahangirpur and Charbetagoir, along with the approval process for buildings for 23 educational institutions, is currently underway.

Regarding the upcoming Union Parishad elections, the State Minister stated that nominations for BNP-supported candidates will be determined based on public opinion and surveys. He urged the people to ensure the victory of qualified BNP candidates who stand for development and democracy.

Expressing his gratitude to the party activists and the general people, he said, "I have been working as your servant and I wish to continue serving you in the future. We shall remain united in the pursuit of development, on the streets and against all conspiracies."
