BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has stated that if the BNP returns to power, they will take steps to rehabilitate the families of martyrs. Speaking at an event, he said, “Reforms are useless if they do not benefit the people.” He lamented that while political changes have allowed many to secure prestigious positions, become ministers, and dominate business sectors, those who sacrificed their lives have been forgotten.

Fakhrul also criticized the current government, claiming it has done little for children or for the rehabilitation of the families of those martyred. Regarding enforced disappearances, he said, “Even though a commission has submitted a report, there has been little progress in locating the missing.” While unsure if those disappeared can be brought back, he insisted something must be done for their families: “If we don’t, we will all be responsible.”
