‘BNP wants people’s fate-changing reforms’

Latest New

Staff Reporter  :

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Tuesday said their party wants people’s fate-changing reforms in the country.

“Many of us now hear about reforms and many people are talking about various reforms.

But it is the BNP that first presented reform proposals in Bangladesh to change the fate of people and transform this country,” Tarique Rahman said while addressing a rally virtually from London, the UK.

BNP’s Jashore district unit organised the rally at the Town Hall Ground in the district in memory of the late minister and BNP Standing Committee member, Tariqul Islam, marking his sixth death anniversary.

Tarique Rahman also said the nation is still passing through a critical juncture, as the evil ghosts of the deposed autocratic regime are still hatching various plots against the country.

The BNP leader said their party chairperson Khaleda Zia outlined state reforms in 2017 by unveiling BNP’s Vision-2030 charter.

He said, the BNP also presented reform proposals in 2023, outlining a 31-point charter for state reforms in consultation with democratic parties that joined the simultaneous movement for the restoration of democracy.

“Of course, reforms are necessary to cope with changing times and the evolving world order in running the country.

But I, as a political activist, believe reforms should be about changing the fate of crores of common people across the country and bringing positive changes to the nation,” the BNP leader said.

“Simply changing a few lines in the constitution is not reforms,’ he said.

Tarique Rahman said the BNP’s 31-point state reform proposals clearly outline the steps needed to carry out the necessary reforms for ensuring a qualitative change in the country and improving the fate of its people.

“As a political activist, I mean reforms that will change the fortune of the people, bring employment to the unemployed, ensure the freedom and rights of women, guarantee people’s safety, ensure our children get better education, and provide people with minimum healthcare services,” he said.

The BNP Acting Chairman said the country is still going through a period of crisis, even after the fall of the autocratic regime through the mass uprising.

“While the autocratic regime was ousted and its head fled the country, their ghosts remain in society and different places of the administration.

From there, they are still trying to sow the seeds of various conspiracies. I call this a critical time,” he said.
