RANGPUR, Nov 7, 2024 (BSS) - BNP central organizing secretary (Rangpur
division) Principal Asadul Habib Dulu Tariq Rahman has said the party's
Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has given 31 points for changing the state
structure.
 
"It is not possible to run the country without a government elected by the
people and therefore we demand the interim government to announce a roadmap
for elections," he said this afternoon.
 
Dulu, a former state minister, said this while addressing a rally organised
by the district and city units of BNP in front of its district office at
Grand Hotel Mour here marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day as
the chief guest.
 
Rangpur city BNP convener Samsuzzaman Samu presided over the rally.
 
Dulu said, in the last fifteen and a half years, the country's judicial
department, legal department and administration had been party-led in an
unprecedented manner during the Awami fascist regime of ousted prime minister
Sheikh Hasina.
 
"Autocrat ruler Sheikh Hasina kept our leader Begum Khaleda Zia in jail for
six years for no reason. Our beloved leader Tariq Rahman has migrated. We had
risked our lives for 16 years and had been protesting on the streets," he
said.
 
Dulu said, "After that, the fascist Hasina government fell in a popular
uprising by the students-people. The collapse of Awami League has been
extreme as the students-people and BNP leaders and activists joined in the
uprising for the second independence."
 
BNP Rangpur divisional Co-organizing Secretary Abdul Khaleque, district BNP

activists.
 
The rallies passed through Salek Pump, Press Club Mour, Jahaz Company Mour,

of BNP and its associate bodies addressed the gathering there.
 
After the mass uprising of the students-people, BNP organised massive
programs marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day and with
participation of thousands of its leaders and activists in the city today.

and punishment of the Awami League leaders and activists involved in the
