Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman said though the dictator has fled the country, her allies are still hatching a conspiracy.
“Though the dictator has fled, allies are still in the country. Conspiracies are still going on,” he said while addressing virtually a day-long 3rd divisional workshop 2024 on “31 points for repairing state structure and public engagement.”
BNP’s divisional training affairs committee organised the event at the District Shilpakala Academy Auditorium in the city.
Tarique Rahman urged the party men to remain vigilant against the conspiracies, saying if the BNP gets harmed, the country will get harmed.
“If we can continue the democratic process, we can take the country forward and keep the people safe,” he said.
Tarique Rahman said the path of democracy in Bangladesh has been affected in various ways. In the past 16 years, many people have been victims of enforced disappearance and murders; he said more than 1,500 people were martyred in the mass-uprising of July-August.
Tarique Rahman said 31-point state reform proposals were declared on behalf of all the parties involved in the struggle to restore democracy in the country.
These 31-point proposals include the maximum ones for repairing the state structure, and if any more logical proposals are placed, those will be added, he said.
After holding talks on the 31-point at the division level, it will have to be taken to district, upazila, and union levels to allow the peopleto know about it, he said.
“Many things are written beautifully in books, but people have to implement them. So if we have good intentions, we can do something good,” he said.
“If accountability can be ensured, these proposals can be implemented. If the continuity of democracy is maintained, accountability will be created. For this reason, we will continue the democratic process at any cost,” said Tarique Rahman.
A question-answer session was held during the workshop as the BNP acting chairman replied to questions from the party men and audiences on the 31-point.
