Reading out a written statement in presence of several other leaders of the Council Islam added “the facilities which have been promised in BNP’s Vision 2030, has already been implemented by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government”. He said the BNP pledged to appoint freedom fighters to run the Freedom Fighter’s Welfare Trust and welfare institutions, if they came to power but the fact remained that “freedom fighter officers and employees were fired from these institutions without any reason”.
