BNP disappointed with Chief Adviser‍‍`s speech

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has shared his party’s disappointment with the Chief Adviser’s recent speech. 

Fakhrul and the BNP had hoped the speech would address key issues and lay out a clear plan for holding elections, but he feels that did not happen.

Fakhrul made these comments on Monday during a discussion at the National Press Club to mark the death anniversary of Maulana Bhashani.

He said that holding elections quickly would be good for the country. 

Fakhrul believes that as long as the current government stays in power, problems will continue to grow because the government is not elected by the people. 

He added that it is the responsibility of the government to solve this issue.

The BNP leader also mentioned that the party has been calling for reforms. 

He reminded everyone that two years ago, BNP’s acting chairman, Tarique Rahman, suggested reforms in key areas like the balance of power, Parliament, and the judiciary. 

Fakhrul pointed out that the public has accepted these ideas, and now it’s time for the government to act. He stressed that the government shouldn’t give the impression that it is trying to stay in power forever.

Fakhrul also warned the government about the dangers of holding onto power too tightly, reminding them of the consequences of such actions.

Talking about the youth’s role in creating a new Bangladesh, Fakhrul said the role of students in past movements should not be ignored. 

He said students played a major part in the struggle and were "the ones who scored the final goal." 

Fakhrul emphasized that there should be no divide between students and the rest of the country.

However, he also cautioned against actions that could cause more uncertainty or instability. 

Fakhrul called for an interim government that everyone could accept. 

While he confirmed that BNP is still supporting the current government, he pointed out that some elements within the government are blocking much-needed reforms. 

He urged the government to take action against these forces and make the situation clearer for the public.
