BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday called upon non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) to unite in the effort to rebuild Bangladesh.
“I have one appeal to you, let us come together today around one common cause, and that is Bangladesh,” he said while addressing a session of “NRB Connect Day: Empowering Global Bangladeshis” at the New York Marriott Marquis in Manhattan, New York.
In his remarks, Fakhrul emphasised the importance of vision and commitment. “We must always keep one thing in mind—we have to dream. The dream envisioned by Muhammad Yunus must be carried forward,” he said.
He noted that what the nation needs most now is a renewed sense of commitment. “Previous regimes destroyed public confidence and brought the country to ruin,” Fakhrul added.
The BNP leader said his party is working to support the reform commissions established by the interim government. “Let me be very clear, BNP will only support initiatives that truly benefit Bangladesh and its people.”
Highlighting the role of youth, Fakhrul said young Bangladeshis are modern thinkers, and his party is open to embracing their ideas. He also expressed hope that women would play a crucial role in shaping the nation’s future.
Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher and National Citizen Party (NCP) Member Secretary Akhter Hossen also spoke at the event.
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus delivered the keynote speech during the session.
