Stating that the current interim government must not be allowed to fail, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Tuesday said Bangladesh will advance to the election roadmap along the path of reforms.
“Some activities of this government may not be considered as a success by all. But we all have to remember that the failure of this government is the failure of all of us and the failure of the pro-democracy people of Bangladesh. So this interim government can in no way be allowed to fail,” he said.
The BNP leader, however, said the current government must also be careful that it does fail because of its own failure.
Tarique Rahman made the remarks while virtually addressing a mass rally in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.
BNP arranged the rally marking the International Day of Democracy. Party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir presided over the rally.
The BNP leader said the interim government is working to restore order in the country following the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s fascist and despotic regime.
He said though the fact that Hasina, the head of the mafia clique fled the country, their beneficiaries and evil forces have continued to challenge the interim government from within the administration or under the guise of politics.
“The people will not allow the government to fail amid various provocations from home and abroad,” Tarique said.
He said the current interim government is the outcome of the supreme sacrifice of thousands of martyrs and the mass uprising of millions of people.
The BNP acting chairman urged his party men to earn the trust and affection of the people through their work.
“I would like to say that the country will be on the electoral roadmap along the path of reforms. So, let us all earn the trust and love of the people through work. We should stand by the people and keep them with us,” he said.
