The implementation of the 31-point plan is the path to fulfilling the commitment of restructuring the state apparatus.” He added, “Under the farsighted leadership of national leader Tareq Rahman, the fall of authoritarianism occurred through the combined movements of BNP and the people. Now, it is necessary to transform the fruits of that movement into sustainable development in a united manner. We must continue the path of national development inspired by the ideals of the martyred President Ziaur Rahman.” He further remarked, “As part of fulfilling the long-standing 17-year expectations of the people, the caretaker government has decided to hold national elections in February of 2026. However, a certain faction is conspiring to sabotage the elections under the guise of the ‘PR system.’ This negative force must be countered in unity for the country’s welfare.” Addressing party leaders and activists, he called for active participation to ensure the victory of the “Dhaner Shish” and encouraged women to play a leading role in political activities. He also prayed for the recovery of the country’s leader Begum Khaleda Zia and for the good health and longevity of national leader Tareq Rahman.
