The ruling party BNP has taken a special political plan on the holy Eid-ul-Azha. Leaders and activists have been instructed to be active at the field level during Eid to prevent the ongoing ‘slander’ against the party and the government and to deliver the development message of the government in the last three months to the people’s doorsteps. To implement this plan, it is said that most of the party’s central leaders, ministers and members of parliament (MP) will celebrate Eid in their respective areas.
According to party sources, Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tariq Rahman has instructed ministers, MPs and party leaders to stand by the people. Apart from sharing the joy of Eid with the common people, it has been asked to strengthen the organizational communication of the area. Many ministers and many central leaders of BNP have already gone to their respective areas. Many will leave for the area after Eid prayers in Dhaka. Preparations have also been made for Eid reunion, exchange of greetings and mass communication programs at the local level. Besides exchanging Eid greetings with Trinamool leaders and workers and people, the ministers and leaders will present the message of the government’s future plans. At the same time, he will warn the people about the ‘disinformation and misinformation’ of the opposing political parties. Clear instructions have been given in this regard from the Centre.
When asked, BNP central leader and National Assembly Whip M Ruhul Quddus Talukdar Dulu said, ‘I will celebrate Eid and exchange greetings with the people of my constituency Natore. Apart from this, I will highlight the current status of the election promises made to the people, so that the people can know what developmental activities the government has done in the last three months and what are the plans for the future. In addition, the disinformation that is being carried out against the government in various ways, including social media, will be made clear to the people through mass communication.
BNP policy makers think that a large number of people go to the area during Eid. As a result, it is a great opportunity to reach a lot of people. That is why central leaders’ orientation towards the area is being seen with special importance this time.
According to party sources, many ministers of the government, most MPs and leaders of BNP will celebrate Eid in their respective areas. They will perform the holy Eid-ul-Azhar prayers in the area and exchange greetings and views with the residents during the Eid holidays. Jatiya Sangsad Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed and Deputy Speaker Barrister Qaiser Kamal will celebrate Eid in their respective constituencies. Apart from this, BNP Secretary General and Minister of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperative Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, member of the party’s standing committee. Abdul Moin Khan, Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury and Power and Energy Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku will celebrate Eid in their respective areas.
BNP’s Dhaka divisional organizing secretary Kazi Saidul Alam Babul said that some political parties are trying to create confusion about the July charter and referendum. Misinformation is being spread against BNP in various ways. For this, a leaflet distribution program has been taken by the party, so that the reality of the July charter and voting can be highlighted among the people. Leaflets have already been distributed across the country. The central leaders will go to the area to highlight the development activities of the government and also go to the common people to stop the propaganda of the opponents.
Some leaders of various levels of BNP said that this is their second Eid after the elected government came to power. Before this, in the last decade and a half, party leaders and workers could not celebrate Eid in a normal environment. Due to lawsuits, attacks and political pressure, many leaders and workers could not go to the area for a long time. Now the situation has changed. The party is now in power with an absolute victory in the parliamentary elections. Most of the government ministers, BNP MPs and central leaders will stay in their respective areas around Eid-ul-Azha.
A senior member of the BNP standing committee said on condition of anonymity that three months have passed in the current government. The amount of progress that has been made as promised at this time will be presented to the people in each area during Eid. At the time of Eid, everyone will hold public meetings in their respective constituencies, exchange skills and learn about the expectations of the common people. Apart from this, some political parties have been spreading propaganda against the government recently based on various issues, the people will also be warned about that.
