Tariq Rahman, the acting chairman of BNP, expressed concerns during a virtual participation in a rally held in South Dhaka, stating that the longer the talks on reform proposals drag on, the deeper the country will fall into crisis. He said that prolonged discussions on reforms would give room for fallen autocrats to gain power and oppress the people. He emphasized the importance of elections for the implementation of reform proposals, stating that accountability can be ensured through elections, and when an elected government has the opportunity to govern, the issues will gradually be resolved. He pledged to make the utmost effort to implement the promised reforms with the party’s leaders and workers.
