BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Tuesday said that several agents of conspirators have infiltrated the party and urged its leaders to take strong action against anyone attempting to defame the organisation for personal gain.
“Our leaders and workers have maintained people's trust in the party despite immense repression and suppression. If anyone among us tries to ruin this trust for their own interests, I urge you to take stern action against them and suppress such people with strong hands,” he said while virtually addressing BNP’s three workshops simultaneously.
The workshop, titled "31-Point State Structure Reform Proposal and Public Engagement," was organised by the BNP Training Affairs Committee in Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur Divisions.
The Dhaka Division's programme was held at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.
Over 2,500 grassroots leaders from the party's upazila, thana and municipality units participated in the workshops.
Tarique Rahman urged party leaders at all levels to closely monitor the activities of their subordinates to ensure that no one can tarnish the reputation of the party for personal gains.
He said their party must return to power with the support of the people to implement their 31-point proposal and serve the public. "Our long struggle, sacrifices, and plans will be in vain if we fail to achieve this. We need the public's support to succeed.”
The BNP leader urged his party colleagues to follow the right path with the right actions. "We must avoid immoral activities. Instead, we must speak out against unethical practice and take a strong stance against misdeeds.”
He also called upon the party leaders and workers to take a vow to keep the people’s confidence at any cost.
Tarique said BNP now enjoys the support of the majority of the people in Bangladesh, making it the cause of jealousy among many political parties. "Many plots are also being hatched against our party.”
He asked party leaders and workers to stay vigilant about the conspiracies being plotted against them. "They have planted many agents within our party as part of these schemes. We must remain alert and cautious," the BNP leader warned.
He once again cautioned BNP leaders and workers that the next election will be tougher than any previous polls, despite their main opponent having weakened.
"We must prepare ourselves in such a way that we can overcome the challenges of this toughest election with the support of the people. Stay with the people and keep the people with you," he said.
