Stay united against autocracy to restore democracy: Tarique

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday urged political parties to maintain unity against autocracy, aiming to restore democracy and implement the reforms in line with the desires of the country’s people.

"Let us preserve the unity with which we ousted the autocracy. Our utmost efforts will be to maintain and uphold this unity in the days ahead, and establish the democracy that the people of this country expect,” he said while virtually addressing an iftar party.

Tarique Rahman also said BNP and other parties will collectively implement the people’s desired reform process through discussions. “Let this be the vow we make at today‍‍`s Iftar gathering.”

The 12-party alliance hosted the programme in honour of politicians and prominent citizens of the country at a city hotel.

Tarique said political parties have different ideologies, but they are united when it comes to the issues of Bangladesh, its people and democracy.

“There is no difference among us on the fundamental issues…we must preserve unity at all costs. While there will be differences of opinion among us, we will sit down and discuss,” the BNP leader said.

He called upon the anti-fascist political parties not to say or do anything that could help revive the autocrats and their cohorts.
