Speaking at a commemorative event organised by the Zillur Rahman Parishad on the 11th death anniversary of the late President at the National Press Club, Dr. Mahmud said, "There is so much to learn from Zillur Rahman for today's politicians. In times of crisis and struggle, one must remain steadfast and unwavering in adverse circumstances, maintaining faith in leadership."
Regarding current politics, he said, "The supporters of 'One Eleven' are facing setbacks. They are waiting for an opportunity to strike back."
"The incident of 'One Eleven' was a tough time for democracry, and without Sheikh Hasina, getting back the democratic system would not have been possible. And at that time, the late President Zillur Rahman was like a shadow beside Sheikh Hasina.," he said.
