HABIGANJ, April 4(BSS): BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has termed as completely false the claim that the party does not want reform.
He said, "The statement that BNP does not want reforms is completely false and is being used to confuse the nation. BNP not only wants reforms but will also implement them."
The minister made the remarks while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion in the district on Saturday, marking the 'Teliapara Day'.
Speaking about the Liberation War, Mirza Fakhrul said, "Some people want to belittle the Liberation War. I want to make it clear to them that the Liberation War is our identity, our pride and our existence."
Regarding the July Uprising 2024, the minister said, "The student-people's movement against the fascist Sheikh Hasina government is another glorious chapter in our history. We embrace the July movement and uprising."
On party discipline, he said, "Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has said that an empty cowshed is better than having a wicked cow. Therefore, there will be no place for any corrupt or wicked person in BNP."
Fakhrul also called upon local MPs to take swift and effective initiatives to improve the living standards of neglected tea workers.
Liberation War Affairs Minister Ahmed Azam Khan, State Minister for Liberation War Affairs Ishraque Hossain, Whip GK Gaus, and International Crimes Tribunal Prosecutor Aminul Islam spoke in the meeting as special guests.
Additionally, local MPs, administration officials, freedom fighters, public representatives, political leaders, and people from various professions participated in the gathering.
Speakers said the historic Teliapara Tea Garden in Habiganj is a important landmark of Bangladesh's Bangladesh Liberation War. It was here that the first well-organised military strategy for conducting the war was formulated. A preliminary decision was also taken to divide the war into 11 sectors and three brigades.
