Dhaka: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, we are still unable to find a clear direction on the path to return to democracy.
He said this at an iftar mahfil organized by BNP at the Ladies Club in the capital on Wednesday (March 19) evening. The party organized this iftar in honor of various political parties and prominent figures. At the beginning of his speech, Mirza Fakhrul greeted the guests invited by the party.
He said, the aspirations of the people of the country, the struggle for democracy that was started by 15-year-olds, the aspirations that were created through the student-people's uprising in July-August, are truly the aspirations of a democratic Bangladesh. To implement that aspiration, we still need the unity that was developed in the past. Now we need to resolve the problems through discussions among ourselves.
Mirza Fakhrul said that we undoubtedly view the reform questions that have come up in a very positive light, saying, "We gave 31 points in the national reform in 2022, we formulated it with all our political partners. We clearly said that if we are elected by the people, we will form a national government. The national government will implement these 31 points."
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "The reform proposals in various sectors have already reached the political parties. I request them to observe them in depth and give their opinions so that we can move forward with everyone."
Stating that there is no alternative to going to the path of democracy, the BNP Secretary General said, "I am clearly talking about early elections so that a government elected by the people can be formed. The elected government will make the necessary reforms."
At the BNP's Iftar Mahfil, Jamaat –e Islam Nayeb-e-Amir Dr. Abdullah Mohammad Taher and leaders of various parties including National Citizens Party (NCP) convener Nahid Islam, and Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna spoke.
