Tarique Rahman’s 31 points for changing state structure: Dulu

BNP central organizing secretary (Rangpur division) Principal Asadul Habib Dulu Tariq Rahman has said the party’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has given 31 points for changing the state structure.

“It is not possible to run the country without a government elected by the people and therefore we demand the interim government to announce a roadmap for elections,” he said this afternoon.

Dulu, a former state minister, said this while addressing a rally organised by the district and city units of BNP in front of its district office at Grand Hotel Mour here marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day as the chief guest.

Rangpur city BNP convener Samsuzzaman Samu presided over the rally.

Dulu said, in the last fifteen and a half years, the country’s judicial department, legal department and administration had been party-led in an unprecedented manner during the Awami fascist regime of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Autocrat ruler Sheikh Hasina kept our leader Begum Khaleda Zia in jail for six years for no reason. Our beloved leader Tariq Rahman has migrated. We had risked our lives for 16 years and had been protesting on the streets,” he said.

Dulu said, “After that, the fascist Hasina government fell in a popular uprising by the students-people. The collapse of Awami League has been extreme as the students-people and BNP leaders and activists joined in the uprising for the second independence.”

BNP Rangpur divisional Co-organizing Secretary Abdul Khaleque, district BNP convener Md Saiful Islam, its member-secretary Anisur Rahman Laku, city BNP member-secretary Advocate Mahfuz-un-Nabi Don, BNP leaders Emdadul Haque Bharsha and Aminul Islam Ranga, district Jubo Dal President Nazmul Alam Nazu, member-secretary of city Jubo Dal Atikul Islam Lelin, President of city Krishak Dal Shahnewaz Labu, convener of district Chhatra Dal Sharif Newaz Joha, member-secretary of city Swechchasebak Dal Noor Hasan Suman were present in the rally.

Later, the district, city and upazila units of BNP and its associate organisations brought out dozens of colorful rallies in the streets and organised gatherings with participation of thousands of leaders and activists.

The rallies passed through Salek Pump, Press Club Mour, Jahaz Company Mour, Paira Chattar, City Bazar, Kachari Bazar and ended at DC Mour where leaders of BNP and its associate bodies addressed the gathering there.

After the mass uprising of the students-people, BNP organised massive programs marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day and with participation of thousands of its leaders and activists in the city today.

From the rallies, BNP leaders and activists raised slogans demanding arrest and punishment of the Awami League leaders and activists involved in the genocide in the July revolution along with the announcement of the roadmap for the early elections.

On the occasion of the celebration of the day, a mesmerizing cultural program was organized in the city’s Central Shaheed Minar premises tonight.
