Bangladesh Nationalist Party acting chair Tarique Rahman on Tuesday called on party leaders and activists to remain united in the face of growing opposition, saying that many previously invisible BNP opponents are now revealing themselves.

Speaking virtually at workshops on the BNP’s 31-point reform plan, held simultaneously in Lalmonirhat, Gaibandha, and Kurigram, Tarique urged the party members to stay vigilant and be firm on maintaining discipline in the organisation.


‘If anyone in the party engages in activities that do not deserve to be backed, action must be taken against them, and they must be removed (from the party),’ he said.

He said that those acting with ill intents in the party must be removed to allow the organisation to move forward as nothing should be allowed, which could undermine public confidence in the BNP.

Referring to the party’s campaign slogan ‘Take Back Bangladesh’, he said that the slogan’s full implementation would only be achieved when the democratic and economic rights of the people are firmly established.

‘A part of our goal has been achieved with the fall of the fascist regime,’ Tarique said.

‘But we must continue our struggle, remain united, and reach out to every citizen. The support from every individual is crucial to our cause,’ he observed.
