Mentioning that there is no reason to be worried if a few more political parties emerge in Bangladesh, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has said those who fear the people's verdict are spreading confusion about the next national election, reports UNB.

"More new political parties may emerge in the country, if necessary. This is a democratic practice and there's nothing to be upset about. BNP welcomes all democratic initiatives that serve the needs of the state and politics," he said.

Tarique Rahman came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion organised by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), in the capital on Wednesday, marking its 46th founding anniversary.

The BNP student body observed the day with various activities, including placing a wreath at the grave of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, organising a blood donation camp at the IEB, and holding an inter-hall badminton competition at Dhaka University.

Since BNP's birth, Tarique said, his party has always been in favour of the practice of multi-party politics and diverse opinions in all situations and at all times.

"In this regard, BNP's stance is very clear that the people will give their verdict through the election, determining which party they accept or reject.
