Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) members elected to the 13th National Parliament have decided not to accept any government plots or tax-free (duty-free) cars. The decision was made at a meeting of party lawmakers held on Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., and later confirmed to journalists by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
The announcement follows a similar declaration by Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, who stated earlier that any elected MP from his party would also refrain from using state-provided plots or duty-free vehicles. The BNP’s move aligns with this stance, signaling a unified position among opposition parties on rejecting such state privileges.
The decision underscores the BNP’s effort to project a stance of restraint and integrity among its newly elected representatives in the 13th Parliament, though further details on implementation were not provided in the report.
