Nilofar Moni Sees Alliance of Religious Parties as a Conspiracy

Nilofar Chowdhury Moni, BNP’s Co-Secretary for Self-Reliance and former Member of Parliament, has stated that she views the unification of religious-based political parties as a conspiracy. She made these remarks during a talk show on a private television channel.

Key Statements

Speaker	Key Points
Nilofar Chowdhury Moni	“Those who have been struggling alongside BNP for many years are now suddenly imagining that they can run the state. There is also a ‘minus-two formula’ involved.”
Nilofar Chowdhury Moni	“Among religious-based political parties, there are significant ideological differences. Some respect shrines, while others destroy them. These destructive parties have suddenly come together, and in this unity, I certainly see a conspiracy.”
Nilofar Chowdhury Moni	“Where one person undermines another, there must be a reason for such unification. If it were truly for the welfare of the state, I would have no objection.”
Nilofar Chowdhury Moni	“The state has long been in critical condition—an ICU state, even a CCU state. Now, the state is attempting to straighten itself and move towards elections. Yet, among those of us striving for reform, a great divide has emerged.”

Nilofar Moni emphasised that the sudden alliance of destructive religious parties should be treated with suspicion:

These parties differ fundamentally in ideology, yet they have united unexpectedly.
Their unity is not motivated by national welfare, according to Moni, but appears to be a strategic conspiracy.
She highlighted the fragile state of the nation, describing it metaphorically as a patient in the ICU or CCU, now attempting to recover through the electoral process.

Moni’s remarks came amid concerns about the political climate in Bangladesh, where alliances among smaller, ideologically extreme parties could influence the national election.

She also noted the growing divide among reformist forces, implying that while the nation attempts to stabilise, internal divisions are emerging among those pushing for change.
