BNP's Acting Chairman, Tarique Rahman, has voiced concerns that the interim government appears to be deviating from its primary objective.
Speaking virtually at a 31-point training workshop organized by the Dhaka Bar Association on Sunday (February 23), he emphasized that the interim government should prioritize restoring stability as quickly as possible.
However, recent statements from the government suggest a shift from this focus, leading to increasing political unrest. He warned that if instability continues, no reform efforts will be effective, and the nation's economy will also suffer.
Tarique Rahman called for a swift election to bring back stability, stating that once elections are held, the responsible authorities can begin addressing pressing issues. He cautioned that any delay in making parliament functional would only worsen the situation, spreading instability across the country.
He also noted that BNP's 31-point reform proposal aligns closely with the recommendations of the Reform Commission. According to him, these proposals are not just BNP's vision but reflect the perspectives of other political parties as well.
Rahman asserted that the 31-point agenda represents the collective voice of the majority.
Furthermore, he accused the previous autocratic government of crippling vital sectors, including healthcare, to benefit a particular foreign country. He claimed that BNP introduced the 31-point reform agenda to protect the nation from further decline.
