BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called on the interim government to avoid entering agreements that harm Bangladesh’s national interests without consulting political parties or the public. He stressed the importance of timely reforms and elections, reminding the public that media freedom was first introduced by Ziaur Rahman. He credited BNP with originating many of the reform demands now under discussion and pointed to Tarique Rahman’s 31-point reform proposal as a roadmap.
