Narsingdi: BNP Standing Committee member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Sunday stated that the current government aims to advance the country collectively under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. ‘BNP has repeatedly been elected by people’s votes because it is a people-based political party. Under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, we will take the country much further ahead in a united way,’ he said.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Dr Moyeen Khan made these remarks during an iftar mahfil organized by Palash upazila BNP in Narsingdi. He emphasized that unity among party leaders and activists, bolstered by public support, is the BNP’s main strength. He recalled the party’s victory in 1991 under Khaleda Zia’s leadership, where BNP secured all five seats in Narsingdi, marking a historic chapter in restoring democracy. He claimed a similar victory in the February 12 election under Tarique Rahman’s leadership.
The BNP leader also underscored the importance of restoring Narsingdi’s past tradition and glory through collective efforts. He highlighted the pride of having Abdul Momen Khan, who served as a minister during Ziaur Rahman’s time and was elected with the highest number of votes. Moyeen Khan pointed out that Narsingdi once played a leading role in political leadership and development, and emphasized the need for unity to regain that position.
The event included a munajat before the iftar, seeking peace and prosperity for the country and the welfare of the Muslim Ummah. BNP district unit President Khairul Kabir Khokon, Narsingdi-4 MP and Health Minister Sardar MD Sakhawat Husain, Engineer Ashraf Uddin Bakul, MP, and Manjur Elahi, MP, were among the speakers at the programme.
