Tarique stresses unity on Victory Day

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has said that a functional parliament and a government accountable to the people could ensure real political power and strength.

He made the comments in his verified Facebook post on the occasion of Victory Day.

The BNP leader laid emphasis on creating more employment to consolidate national unity. "We must utilise our unity to build a Bangladesh free from discrimination. We must bear in mind that without empowerment, national unity couldn't be strengthened and sustainable," he said.

He said elected representatives are committed to fulfilling people's hopes and aspirations. They also work as a base for democratic rule in both social and state affairs, he added.

Highlighting the necessity of reforms both at state and  political levels, the acting chairman said, "People have the right to know about the real roadmap for reform initiatives taken by the interim government."

He said it is always important to adhere to a democratic political culture to protect the country and the government from the resurgence of fascism and autocratic rule.

About the Victory Day, he said the Day which has been observed in an environment free from fascism is undoubtedly significant, joyous and full of pride.

"I do believe that each and every Independence and Victory Day would be a symbol of commitment by the government and the state to people," said Mr Tarique.
