Interim govt needs reasonable time for reforms

Staff Reporter :

The BNP on Tuesday said the interim government should be given reasonable time for completing its reforms efforts.

“Reasonable time should be given to the interim government for reform work. We have to show patience so that the government can conduct its reforms in a peaceful and disciplined manner.

Do not take everything politically rather problems should be resolved through dialogue,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the remarks while inaugurating Shaheed Zia Smriti Football Tournament as the Chief Guest in Barobari area of Lalmonirhat district.

The BNP leader said the present government should be more careful in appointing advisers. No dubious person should be appointed as adviser or to any other key positions, he added.

Mirza Fakhrul said the fascist Awami League government has taken the country almost to destruction through massive corruption and irregularities in every sector.

Lalmonirhat district BNP President and Central Organising Secretary Ahsan Habib Dulu presided over the event while Bangladesh Football Federation President Tabith Awal, former captain of national football team and Dhaka North City BNP leader Aminul Islam, among others, were present.

Meanwhile, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said that the Awami League should be defeated through the democratic process of voting, not through any other means.
The BNP leader said it while speaking at a roundtable discussion in the capital on Tuesday.

He said also Bangladesh will get back on the right track only if democracy is restored and the people’s ownership of the country is reestablished through a credible national election.

“If we want to remove the Awami League by any other means, it will not be sustainable. The fascists must be decisively defeated through the power of the vote. Any attempt to do so through other ways will yield no benefit,” Amir Khosru said.

Voice of Democracy and Voter Rights organised the programnme titled ‘Take Back Bangladesh: Citizen Thoughts’ at the National Press Club.

Amir Khosru said that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, autocratic ruler Ershad, and fascist ruler Sheikh Hasina all created different narratives in the past, but those were ultimately rejected by the people.
Mostofa Kamal Majumder, former editor of The New Nation, among others, was present in the event.
