BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman has declared that if his party forms the next government, it will not use the Bangladesh Army for political purposes. Speaking on Saturday night at a meeting with retired military officers and families of the Pilkhana massacre victims at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dhaka, he said the BNP has never acted in ways that undermine the army’s honor and will not do so in the future. His wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, was also present at the event.
Rahman emphasized that the BNP stands for Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty, asserting that a strong BNP ensures a strong nation and a respected army. He recalled his mother Khaleda Zia’s trust in the armed forces and his father Ziaur Rahman’s pride as a military officer. He also proposed restoring the name of the former Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and marking the Pilkhana tragedy as a national day of remembrance.
He further announced plans to form a committee to review military-related reform proposals, including the creation of a National Security Council and implementation of the “One Rank One Pay” policy if the BNP wins the February 12 national election.
