BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday said reforms and structural changes in the State must lead to real improvements in public life, especially for children.
“We want a change in the state structure and we want reforms. But if these reforms and changes don’t help ensure the overall development of our people, don’t help build a better future for our children or give them a secure life, then I think such reforms will be of no use,” he said.
Fakhrul made the remarks while speaking at a programme titled ‘Children in Democratic March’, jointly organised by ‘Amara BNP Poribar’ and ‘Mayer Daak’ at the Kemal Ataturk Playground in Banani, to honour the families of those who were forcibly disappeared and the children killed in the July Uprising.
Expressing deep frustration, he said the state has taken little or no initiative to support the families who have lost their loved ones in democratic movements.
The BNP Secretary General hoped that the government will take urgent and meaningful steps to rehabilitate children and families affected by enforced disappearances and the mass movement in the country.
“I hope that our interim government, despite the delay, will prioritise their rehabilitation, considering the pain and suffering they have endured while searching for their fathers, relatives and brothers,” he said.
