Speaking at a seminar titled "Tarique Rahman’s 31-Point Reform Agenda and Public Engagement," BNP leader Mirza Abbas urged authorities to focus on corrupt officials hidden within government offices rather than searching for "devils" in jungles. He claimed that pro-Awami elements still occupy key positions in government institutions and misguide the administration. Addressing criticism over BNP’s demand for elections, he asserted that the party has been fighting for voting rights for decades and welcomed the shift in focus from local to national elections.
