聽Tarique also said 鈥榠f there is no political and economic freedom of the people, then whatever reforms we do will not be useful.
聽鈥楢ccountability must be聽 ensured to the people, and for this, the right to vote must be ensured in the country, he said, adding that the accountability is ensured through voting rights in all democratic countries in the world.鈥櫬�
He said, 鈥筎housands of our party people have been victims of enforced disappearance, murder for the right of people to speak, political rights, voting rights, and more than 60 lakh false cases were filed against our leaders and activists.鈥�
鈥榃e are fighting to establish the voting right, the right to speak for the people of Bangladesh. So we have to establish the rights at any cost by making people aware,鈥� he added.
聽Referring to the BNP鈥檚 31-point reform proposals, Tarique Rahman said, 鈥笲NP is a party that has worked for the development of the country and people鈥簊 destiny in the past, but it was successful in many cases while it was not successful in some cases.鈥�

聽He said, 鈥極ur 31 points are the outline of how we will run the country in the future. It was originally 27 points, but later, the 27 points increased to 31 following the opinions of all the parties who participated in our simultaneous movement against the anti-autocratic movement.鈥�
聽鈥楽o, the 31 points are not only of the BNP; it is a collective thinking of all parties that believe in democracy,鈥� he added.
聽Tarique said, 鈥筂any are talking about a lot of reforms, but BNP has been thinking about the nation for a long time. When no one thought about it, BNP presented 27 points and then 31 points to the people of the country.鈥�
