BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman has emphasised the importance of ensuring political and economic rights for all citizens to secure their emancipation.


Addressing a divisional workshop on the BNP's 31-point reform agenda and public engagement virtually at the Bagerhat District Council Auditorium today, he urged party leaders and activists to remain disciplined and committed in reaching out to the grassroots.


"People want to trust the BNP. Anyone working to destroy that trust has no place in the party," Tarique said.


"The 31 points are not just for the BNP; they represent the aspirations of all political parties and the people of Bangladesh. I urge everyone to take these points to the masses," he added.


Highlighting the setbacks of the past 15 years, Tarique said the country has regressed in almost every sector.


"Two kinds of rights must be ensured—political rights and economic rights—to free the people. As a political party, BNP is working to make this a reality," he said.


The workshop, presided over by Bagerhat District BNP Convener ATM Akram Hossain Talim, was attended by notable party leaders, including BNP Adviser Dr Mahadi Amin, Central Organising Secretary Aninda Islam Amit, Research Affairs Secretary Agriculturist Shamimur Rahman Shamim, former District BNP President MA Salam, Central Committee Member Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and Advocate Wahiduzzaman Dipu.


More than a thousand leaders and activists from the BNP and its affiliated organisations participated in the event, including Joint Conveners Dr Faridul Islam and Khadem Niyamul Nasir Alap, District BNP leaders Monirul Islam Khan and Mahbubur Rahman Tutul, Women's Wing President Shahida Akhtar, Jubo Dal leader Harun Or Rashid, and Chhatra Dal leader Ali Saddam Dip.
