Jhenaidah: Acting Chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Tarique Rahman stated that the entire nation is anticipating a fair and acceptable election. He called upon his party’s leaders and workers to earn the public’s trust in order to win over the people’s hearts in the upcoming election. Rahman delivered this message virtually from London during a workshop focusing on the party’s 31-point reform agenda, held at a local auditorium in Jhenaidah district.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Rahman emphasized the nation’s eagerness to see BNP back in power, highlighting the necessity for party members to dedicate themselves to gaining the public’s confidence. The workshop was attended by leaders and workers from the BNP and its affiliated bodies from Narail, Jashore, and Jhenaidah districts. Rahman warned that the path to the next election could be challenging and encouraged spreading the 31-point reform agenda, which he said is designed for the welfare of the people.
He further asserted that genuine development in the country could be achieved if the reform proposals are implemented. Rahman also cautioned about internal and external conspiracies against the BNP and stressed the importance of staying vigilant, asserting that the BNP cannot be defeated through conspiracies because it is a party of the people.
The acting chairman urged his party’s leaders and workers to self-correct in order to gain the people’s confidence. He called for a united front among political parties opposing fascism to prevent its return to power and acknowledged BNP’s significant role in the anti-fascism movement, asserting its responsibility in safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and interests.
Rahman promised to honor the martyrs of the July-August mass uprising and those who sacrificed their lives in the past 16 years, pledging that if BNP is voted into power, government establishments would be renamed after the martyrs. The workshop was presided over by Jhenaidah BNP General Secretary Zahiduzzaman Mona and attended by other prominent BNP figures.
