Chuadanga: BNP's Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has emphasized the urgency of conducting a quick election to ensure the sustainability of ongoing reforms, warning that delays could lead to further conspiracies. Rahman addressed the Chuadanga district BNP council virtually from London, stating that the people's mandate through an election is essential for political stability in the country. According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Rahman highlighted that the nation is currently focused on reforms, a discussion initiated by the BNP two years ago with their 31-point reform proposals. He stressed that reform is a continuous process that should align with the people's expectations and mandate. Rahman urged party workers to prepare for the responsibilities that come with meeting these expectations and noted that while the dictator has been overthrown, there are still conspiracies being hatched both locally and internationally. The council, inaugurated by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir at the C huadanga town football ground, saw participation from party Vice-Chairmen Shamsuzzaman Dudu and Nitai Roy Chowdhury, Khulna divisional organizing secretary Aditya Islam Amit, and Jayanta Kumar Kundu as special guests. The event was chaired by Chuadanga district BNP convener Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu, with member secretary Sharifuzzaman Sharif conducting the proceedings. Rahman expressed hope that the interim government would successfully hold a fair election to elect representatives who prioritize public welfare, emphasizing that democracy in its true sense can only be established when genuine representatives are elected. He called for the election of pro-people representatives to change the fate of the citizens and conveyed the urgency of a quick election to the interim government and the people of Bangladesh. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, addressing the council, criticized the Awami League regime for alleged killings carried out by police, Jubo League, and Chhatra League cadres, stating that such actions are unacceptable in a democratic country. He accused the Awami League of engaging in terrorism and corruption and asserted that the BNP has never compromised on upholding democracy. The council meeting, held for the first time in 14 years, concluded with prayers for the souls of the martyrs of the July movement, amidst a festive atmosphere among BNP leaders and activists following the fall of the Awami League government.
