BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Sunday said the party will move the country forward in unity under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
He made the remarks while speaking at an iftar mahfil organised by Palash upazila BNP in Narsingdi.
“BNP has repeatedly been elected by people’s votes because it is a people-based political party,” he said. “Under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, we will take the country much further ahead in a united way.”
He said unity among party leaders and activists, along with public support, remains the party’s main strength.
Referring to past elections, he said that in 1991, under the leadership of Khaleda Zia, BNP won all five parliamentary seats in Narsingdi.
“It was a historic chapter in restoring democracy,” he said. “Likewise, under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, Bangladesh Nationalist Party again won all five seats here in the 12 February election.”
He urged leaders and activists to work together to restore the district’s past tradition and political prominence.
The BNP leader also recalled that during the tenure of Ziaur Rahman, Abdul Momen Khan served as a minister and was elected with the highest number of votes.
“He is our pride,” he said.
He added that Narsingdi once played a leading role in political leadership and development and called for collective efforts to regain that position.
A munajat was offered before iftar seeking peace and prosperity for the country and the welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
BNP District Unit President Khairul Kabir Khokon, Narsingdi-4 Member of Parliament and Health Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain, Engineer Ashraf Uddin Bakul Member of Parliament and Manjur Elahi Member of Parliament, among others, also spoke at the programme.
