We have to find out ways of people’s economic rights: Tarique   

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has said we have to find out the ways of the people’s economic and political rights side by side with making all reforms for changing their fortune.

Tarique Rahman was addressing a memorial meeting as the chief guest at Enayetpur Islamia High School ground in Sirajganj district joining it virtually from London on Saturday. A large number of people joined the memorial meeting defying inclement weather.

“Bangladesh is a potential country. Only achieving political emancipation will not be enough. To get its benefits, ways for achieving people’s economic emancipation should be showed,” he said.

He said the students-people’s revolution on August 5 is an outstanding one. Paying tributes to valiant martyrs of the students-people movement in 2024, Tarique Rahman said though autocrat Hasina fled the country, ghosts of autocrat still persist in the country.

Administration should be restructured after removing the ghosts of autocrat from there, he said.

The 2024 mass uprising was a struggle for restoring the people’s voting rights, he added.
