BNP’s Acting Chairman, Tarique Rahman, stated that betraying the people’s trust will lead to consequences, referencing August 5 as a warning. Speaking at a workshop in Khulna, he urged BNP leaders to prioritize public interest and deliver the party’s 31-point plan to every household. He emphasized unity beyond religion or caste, advocating equal rights for all Bangladeshis. Tarique promised reforms to constitutional structures and initiatives for economic prosperity if BNP comes to power, warning against political discrimination and the damages caused by autocratic regimes.
