BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman announced plans to transform Bangladesh’s youth into a skilled workforce through training and digital empowerment. Speaking virtually from London at the inauguration of a ‘Digital Memorial’ in Bogura on Sunday, he emphasized the party’s commitment to expanding freelancing opportunities and ensuring free internet access for students and young professionals. He also revealed that 20 locations in Bogura will soon have free Wi-Fi, with one college already connected.

Rahman outlined a broader development vision, including the recruitment of 100,000 health workers—85% of whom will be women—and the promotion of technical and language education to meet global labor market demands. He linked these initiatives to BNP’s revised seven-point agenda derived from its original 31-point program. Urging party members to remain vigilant, he criticized past governance as destructive and called for unity in rebuilding the nation.

Local BNP leaders, including Mosharaf Hossain and Rezaul Karim Badsha, attended the event, which drew participants from various professional sectors.
