BNP leader Zainul Abdin Farroque urged the government to initiate elections before incurring the fury of the people. “Instead of reforming the public, Sheikh Hasina herself should undergo reform,” he said.
He emphasized that BNP has shown patience and adhered to Tarique Rahman’s guidance over the past 17 years while demanding democratic elections.
Referring to Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Farroque said, “We hold great hope in you. It’s been nine months since the regime assumed power, yet now the talk of 'corridors' arises. The real reform — already outlined by Tarique Rahman — remains ignored.”
He concluded by saying, “We are proud of you. Don’t shatter that pride. Just as rivers change course after hitting rocks, let us avoid crashing into public rage and move towards elections.”
