Bangladesh Nationalist Party senior leader Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury on Tuesday said reforms in the country must be carried out in parliament with the people鈥檚 mandate through a democratic process.
鈥楾here is no point in telling us about reforms. Reforms must be implemented through the democratic process with people鈥檚 mandate in Parliament,鈥� he said told a discussion.
The Doctors鈥� Association of Bangladesh organised a programme titled 鈥楳artyr President Ziaur Rahman and Today鈥檚 Bangladesh鈥� at the BSMMU.
Khosru, a BNP standing committee member, said if any changes were to be made through reforms in the future, they would be achieved through correction and filtration within the democratic process.
鈥楻eforms will continue as it is a democratic process. Reforms belong to the people of Bangladesh,鈥� he said.
The BNP leader also said the party would form a national government with people鈥檚 mandate in the near future and fully implement its 31-point reform proposal in parliament.
Speaking at the programme, another BNP standing committee member, AZM Zahid Hossain, said the BNP carried out reforms at different times that were in line with the hopes and expectations of the people.
He said the BNP founder and former president Ziaur Rahman initiated the state reforms from the very first day in office to restore order and ensure the country鈥檚 economic progress.
鈥楢ll the good things and reforms in Bangladesh have come through the hands of the BNP. No matter how much others talk about reforms, we must learn from BNP how to reform the country,鈥� the BNP leader said.
Zahid called upon the BNP leaders and activists to garner more public support for the implementation of the party鈥檚 31-point reform proposal.
