Tarique Rahman urges all to remain alert about conspiracy of autocrat’s cohorts

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman today urged all people to remain alert about multi-faceted conspiracies of the cohorts of the autocrat though the dictator fled the country.

“If any plot is made, befitting reply should be given to it,” he said while addressing a public rally at Gopalpur in Tangail district as the chief guest virtually from London.

Tangail’s Gopalpur unit of BNP organized the rally this afternoon demanding release of former deputy minister Abdus Salam Pintu
from jail.

BNP central Vice-Chairman Advocate Ahmed Azam Khan addressed the rally as the special guest while Publicity Secretary Sultan Salahuddin Tuku spoke as main speaker with BNP’s Gopalpur Upazila unit President Khandaker Jahangir Alam in the chair.

Tarique Rahman said BNP wants to introduce politics of production and development in the country in future.

“Only a political government can solve all the problems of the people while public mandate is needed to this end. If we get the opportunity to perform that duty (governing the state) with the mandate of the country’s people, your problems will remain in my mind,” he added.

In the public rally held after almost 17 years in Gopalpur, the address of Tarique Rahman, son of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, was in the centre of the interests of the people who joined the public event.

The BNP acting chairman virtually joined the rally around 4.45pm while thousands of people greeted him when he appeared on the screen.

In his about 35-minute speech, Tarique Rahman disclosed his plan about the potentials of different famous products of Tangail district.

He said, “The country will march forward if economic emancipation is achieved”.

Referring to the participating people in the rally, the BNP acting chairman said, “I know that not only the people of Gopalpur and Bhuapur are present here today, but also people from neighboring Madhupur, Dhanbari, Ghatail and Tangail Sadar upazilas and many from Jamalpur district are also present here”.

“My father was a beloved personality of you all. He taught me since my childhood – how to get close to the country’s hardworking peasant, laborers and common people. And my mother Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia, who is also your beloved one, taught me the importance of earning people’s love and how to work to solve the problems of the country’s mothers and sisters,” he added.
