Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday urged all to work towards building a democratic Bangladesh.
Fakhrul made the call while speaking at an iftar event, organized by the BNP in honour of professionals at the Ladies Club in the capital.
The BNP secretary general said: “We are going through a very difficult time at the moment. You all know that an interim government has been formed by defeating and expelling a terrible fascist government through a student uprising. After that, a new democratic government will be formed, the people of this country are waiting for that."
Calling on party leaders and activists, the BNP secretary general said everyone should play their role with great awareness and caution. “Especially those of us, who are associated with the BNP, let us not take any steps that can lead us in the wrong direction."
“We will play our role responsibly. All those involved in politics or involved with the people in various ways will speak and work in a way that will pave the way for the transition to democracy," he said.
Regarding reforms, Fakhrul said: “You all know that the state system is collapsing due to reforms.”
"That is why we presented a 31-point program of state reforms to the people about two years ago. We think that the words of our reforms in that program are enough for the country to change," he said.
He said the interim government has formed reform commissions. "We are in full contact with them and are monitoring their proposals and giving our opinions accordingly," he said.
