BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman said on Tuesday, " Voting right as well as political and economical emancipation of the people need to be safeguarded at any cost."  

Speaking virtually at the last day of a three-day workshop titled '31 points of state structure repair and public involvement' at Institution of Diploma Engineers organised by BNP he said, "We're fighting for the restoration of people's freedom of speech and the right to vote. 

We must secure the rights of the people  at any cost by raising public awareness," He urged BNP leaders and workers not to use Deshnayak or Rashtranayak after his name.
 
He urged the people to remain vigilant to foil anti-Bangladesh conspiracies.

Tarique said no reform would bring welfare of the people  without their political and economic emancipation.
He said public representatives must be made accountable to the people.

He said no one whether in the government or in the opposition, political parties, or local leaders such as upazila or municipality chairmen, members, or councillors should be allowed to act to fulfill their personal goals.

"Everyone must be accountable to the people. To ensure this, we must restore people's rights to vote. Accountability is guaranteed in any democratic and civilised country through voting," he said.

Tarique said  the BNP has long been engaged in a movement for the restoration of people's political, voting and other fundamental rights. "It's a struggle that has cost many lives and involved enduring serious oppression and suppression."

"We often say that the plots never cease. You (BNP leaders and workers) can also understand, as you see from recent news in the newspapers, that somewhere a plot is being hatched. So, we must raise awareness among the people and stay united with them," he said.

BNP Standing Committee member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan inaugurated the workshop.

Tarique Rahman said BNP will be able to return to power if only its leaders and workers work and behave in accordance with the will of the people.

He said, BNP presented its 31-point proposal, based on the opinion of all the democratic parties in the country, to reform state institutions. 

"Many people are talking about  reforms, but BNP alone presented reform proposals  years ago," he said.

He said the 31-point proposal is not unchangeable. "We are open to accepting any good proposal or suggestion."

He urged BNP leaders and activists to hold small meetings in rural areas to enable the  people to  understand the reform proposals.

Tarique also highlighted the importance of investing in primary education, ensuring teachers receive good salaries to curb corruption. "We must focus on the quality of education for both students and teachers."

He also stressed the importance of focusing on the health sector to build a healthy nation with access to quality services. "If we can reduce corruption, we will be able to ensure better healthcare services."
