BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Wednesday said that his party wants to see the country will run by a national unity government in future.
“We have seen that our predecessors have gifted us a independent country through fighting in a war. But we have failed to form a national unity after gaining the liberation,” Tarique Rahman said through a video conference in the party’s Dhaka divisional grassroots leaders and workers conference.
BNP Standing Committee Members Mirza Abbas, Dr. Abdul Moin Khan and Goyeswar Chandra Roy, among others, were attended in the event.
“We have seen that how only a party people dominate in a partisan government keeping the other parties leaders away. In such, the people of the country used to become deprived from getting services from a vast portion of leaders,” Tarique Rahman said.
The BNP Acting Chairman said that they want to create opportunity of running the country through a national unity government which chance was unused after the liberation war.
“Who participated in the struggle of restoring democracy and voting rights of the people in the country will be participated in running the country,” the BNP leader said.
“The BNP wants to run the country with national government after winning people’s mandate in future,” Tarique Rahman said.
The BNP Acting Chairman also said that his party will bring a reform in the national constitution by adding Bicameral Parliament system.
“We have seen that many of the intellectuals including teachers, poet, literatures, journalists, and such others who have not involved in politics directly but have vast knowledge and capabilities to serve the nation. We will take those intellectuals in the Parliament to create facilities to serve the nation,” he said.
Meanwhile, the BNP leader slammed the deposed Hasina regime over siphoning huge amount of money abroad from the people’s wealth saying the people might not want to see them in such national government.
“I hope the people must not want to see those culprits in the national government who ousted by the student-people movement. Those culprits thought the country as their paternal properties,” he said.
He urged the party men to comply the peoples’ desires in this changed environment.
“If you (party men) be honest to the BNP’s ideology and be trustworthy to the people, no one could keep us from our advancement,” he said.
