BNP leader Kofil Uddin stated that former President Ziaur Rahman’s 19-point plan once made Bangladesh self-reliant, and now his son Tarique Rahman is aiming to build the nation with a comprehensive 31-point reform program. "This plan covers everything necessary for national development," he said. Kofil accused the current government of plundering the economy and asserted that Tarique Rahman’s plan is a direct response to those damages. The program has reportedly sparked wide public interest both domestically and internationally.
