BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman said that, as a member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, he wants to move forward with a clear plan for the people of the country. He stated that if they come to power in the future, the state will be run on the foundation of the justice and moral values of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). To achieve this goal, unity and cooperation among all pro-democracy people are necessary.

He made these remarks on Thursday afternoon while addressing a BNP reception program in the 300 Feet area of the capital.

Commitment to justice and discipline in governing the state
Tarique Rahman said that regardless of one’s religion or political affiliation, maintaining order in the country is everyone’s responsibility. Ensuring that every citizen can live safely will be the core commitment of future state governance. He presented this pledge before the nation.

Party unity and the vision of a desired Bangladesh
Speaking at the event, Tarique Rahman said he wants to build a desired Bangladesh by taking everyone along. Establishing peace will be their primary goal. Referring to the need for Almighty Allah’s mercy, he said that with Allah’s help, it will be possible to build the Bangladesh they envision.

Allegations of anti-national conspiracies
In his speech, he said that various hegemonic forces continue to conspire against the country. As part of this ongoing conspiracy, incidents such as the recent killing of Osman Hadi have taken place. Tarique Rahman said Hadi was a soldier of the democratic movement. In this situation, he urged everyone to remain patient and, in particular, called on the youth to unite and come forward to build the nation.

Promise of safety for women and children
The BNP Acting Chairman said a safe Bangladesh will be built by including people from both the hill tracts and the plains. It will be a country where women and children can leave their homes without fear and return safely.

Criticism of the previous government
Criticizing the rule of the previous government, Tarique Rahman said countless people have lost their lives over the past one and a half decades. He alleged that although the government cited the Charter of Medina, its principles were not reflected in actual state governance.

Prayers sought for Khaleda Zia’s recovery.
At one point in his speech, he sought prayers from the people of the country for the physical recovery of his mother and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

Huge crowds in the 300 Feet area

Areas including Purbachal, Neela Market, Namapara, Kuril Bishwaroad, and Khilkhet intersection turned into seas of people. Many also stood on rooftops, vehicles, and overbridges.

After completing formalities, he left for the reception program at 300 Feet at 12:35 p.m. Due to the huge crowds along the route, it took him more than three hours to reach the venue.
