Each point, from education and agriculture to economic reform and social justice, is aimed at improving the lives of ordinary citizens. We must spread these ideals among the people.” Addressing the youth, he added, “Tarique Rahman always inspires young people to embrace patriotism, honesty, and ethical politics. Real change is possible only if we remain united and free from social evils like drugs and corruption.” He concluded by seeking everyone’s prayers for the speedy recovery of Begum Khaleda Zia, and for the good health and long life of national leader Tarique Rahman.
