BNP National Standing Committee member and former minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that no future democratic government in Bangladesh should deviate from its course. Speaking as the chief guest at a meeting of the Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal in Chiringa, Chakaria, Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday, January 13, he emphasized the need to build a parliament where representatives speak for the people and where there is no place for terrorism.

He said the next parliament should focus on lawmaking to advance Bangladesh, replacing praise and ceremonial performances with genuine debate and opposition. Ahmed described the upcoming national election as a decisive one that will determine the country’s direction and ensure the realization of citizens’ democratic rights. He added that the election would be the most significant in the nation’s history, strengthening democratic institutions and establishing them as protectors of democracy.

Local BNP leaders, including Enamul Haque, M Mobarak Ali, Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury Khokon Mia, Ali Ahmed, and Shariful Alam, were also present at the event.
