BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today underscored the need for forging political unity under the current circumstances as there is a kind of instability going on in the country.
“We are making some definite issues indefinite. Two words- reform and elections- are being spoken a lot. Therefore, it will be the responsibility of all political parties and groups to resolve the problems through discussions with great patience,” he said.
He was addressing a memorial meeting on party Vice Chairman Abdullah Al Noman at Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh in Kakrail. Abdullah Al Noman died at his Dhanmondi residence on February 25 this year.
Mirza Fakhrul said BNP gave its proposals to National Consensus Commission. “We believe that a solution that is truly acceptable to everyone will come out through a discussion. Through a fair election, we will get the representation of the people in a very short time,” he said.
He urged the party men to stay vigilant as struggle is not over yet and the path to a democratic transition is not yet smooth.
“We have not yet got a parliament elected by the people through elections. For this reason, we have to work very carefully, firmly, and with awareness. The party has to be made stronger and more powerful,” he said.
Paying tribute to Abdullah Al Noman, the BNP Secretary General said, Abdullah Al Noman worked to implement the dream of building a democratic Bangladesh. Noman could create a movement even in the most adverse environment and he had the power to unite people, he added.
Sramik Dal President Anwar Hossain chaired the discussion which was moderated by Publicity and Publication Secretary Manjurul Islam Manjur.
Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, Vice-Chairman Ahmed Azam Khan and Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, Sayeed Al Noman, son of late leader Abdullah Al Noman, were present.
