Prime Minister Tarique Rahman announced that his government has begun implementing election promises even before the voting ink has faded. Speaking on Saturday morning at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka, he inaugurated a program to provide government honorariums to imams, muezzins, and religious leaders of various faiths. He emphasized financial assistance and employment creation to reduce economic inequality, particularly for disadvantaged groups.

Rahman detailed several new initiatives, including a Family Card program for economically vulnerable women, which will gradually reach four crore families across Bangladesh. He also announced that a pilot project for a Farmer Card will begin on April 14, and a canal excavation program will start on March 16 in Dinajpur. The financial support program for religious leaders also began that day.

He stated that the government aims to ensure political and economic empowerment for every citizen, regardless of religion or profession, to build a strong foundation for the nation and prevent any authoritarian forces from undermining freedom.
