Acting Chairman of BNP Tariq Rahman commented that there is no alternative to be united to fulfill people's expectations.

He said that along with the political emancipation of the country, the economic emancipation of the people must also be found. If we can move the nation forward unitedly, then we will succeed in achieving liberation in all aspects including economic.

Tariq Rahman said these things in the speech of the chief guest at the view exchange meeting organized by Belkuchi, Chauhali and Enayetpur Thana BNP at Enayetpur Islamia High School grounds in Sirajganj on Saturday (September 21) afternoon.

He said, "We have done away with dictatorship, few goals have been achieved." There is still a long way to go. If that path can be passed, people's right to vote will also be guaranteed.

He further said, until we can bring all the crops home, starting from the economic liberation of our people, we have to continue our movement. We are united today to pay tribute to those who gave their lives. Every people of Bangladesh is looking up to you, so every leader and worker of the party should prepare accordingly.

Tariq Rahman said that under no circumstances will the blood of martyrs in the anti-discrimination student mass movement be allowed to go in vain, people's freedom of expression, right to vote must be ensured and fundamental rights must be established.

Calling on the leaders and activists to be patient, he said that everyone should be united and stand by the people. So that people can trust us. Under no circumstances can the law be taken into hand, strict action will be taken against anyone who takes the law into hand.

Mahmudur Rahman Manna, convenor of Nagarik Oikya said, "BNP first said, vote within three months, people did not like it." After saying, give it in six months, people didn't like that either. BNP is trying to go with the people of the country. Now saying, we will give reasonable time to the interim government. If Awami League had been in this place, it would have given hartal two or three times by now.'

He said this at a discussion meeting titled 'Students' Uprising 2024: Public Aspirations-Crisis and Prospects' at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Friday (September 20) afternoon.

The convener of the Nagotik Oikya said, we have to be vigilant. The change that people expected in the administrative system is not happening. I can't think that those who are in power now are crooks or brokers of Awami League.

He said that the advisers of the Interim government have not done politics despite being successful in their respective professions and they have no idea about politics. The government is filing cases in droves. Taking many cases making arrests. The cases do not last.

Jonaid Saki said, the events we are seeing after the uprising are dangerous. These are social wounds caused by fascism. The allies of fascism are trying in various ways to thwart the uprising. Conspiracy is underway. It is the government's responsibility to stop the conspirators.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that the army should be given the magisterial powers in the areas that have gone out of control. It would not be expedient or wise to create new problems by giving magistracy powers in areas that are peaceful and controlled by political leaders. This government needs to consider the matter fully.

He said this while meeting and helping the families of the martyrs and the injured in the movement to overthrow the fascist Sheikh Hasina, organized by the District BNP in Thakurgaon Press Club hall room on Thursday (September 19) morning.

Mirza Fakhrul said, "I fought with Pakistan in 1971, and I had to fight with a political party of the country in 24." More than 700 people have gone missing during the dictatorship of Hasina regime. Thousands of people were killed. Begum Khaleda Zia, Tarique Rahman and others have been made destitute with false cases in the name of common people. During their tenure, 9 people were killed in Thakurgaon.
