Acting Chairman of BNP Tariq Rahman said, from today, don't call me a countryman or a countryman. He said, 'I have a request as a colleague, as your leader, please don't use my name as Deshanayak, Rashtranayaka from today.'
On Tuesday (19 November) in the Kakrail Institution of Diploma Engineers auditorium in the capital, Tarek Rahman said these words while participating virtually in the workshop on '31 points of state structure repair and public involvement'.
The top leader of BNP gave instructions to the activists in the workshop. During this time, he discussed various issues including 31 points, future governance of Bangladesh, elimination of unemployment. He said about the 31 points, the point of how the country wants to manage the BNP in the future.
He said, 'Bangladesh has opportunities and potential to create new job-oriented sectors outside of the garment and remittance industry. We will officially encourage most people to be involved in outsourcing.'
Talking about the reform, Tariq Rahman said, “When the BNP did not think about the country and the nation, it gave 27 points.”
He said, 'We are a group that has managed the country. Maybe I couldn't do much. Maybe I did a lot.' He mentioned the contribution and decisions of Ziaur Rahman government, the founder of BNP.
Meanwhile, Tariq Rahman urged the leaders and activists to take the 31 points to the marginal stage. The top leader of BNP called for a courtyard meeting on the 31 points at the village level.
Quoting the statement of a leader of Titumir College's Chhatra Dal, Tarek Rahman said, 'If the economic and political emancipation of the people is not there, then none of the reforms we do will be useful. Political emancipation is accountability to the people. Whatever one wishes, it will not happen. Be it government party, opposition party, MP, minister, it has to be answered to the people. To ensure this, the right to vote must be established.' Accountability is created through voting, said the Acting Chairman of BNP.
Regarding employment, Tariq Rahman said, 'There are more than one crore unemployed people in the country. We have the opportunity to create new sectors beyond garments and remittances. I try, but I can't do it fast enough. I will be able to reduce the problem to a large extent. It won't all happen overnight. Let's move forward a little bit from everyone's position. If everyone tries, inshallah, we will be able to do something good.'
