BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today called for swift reforms to pave the way for the next general elections and the formation of a "people’s government."

Speaking at a May Day rally in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan office, he said, “Fascism has fallen but democracy has not yet emerged.” 

Fakhrul urged Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus to complete the necessary reforms without delay.

BNP acting Chairman Tarique Rahman joined the rally virtually as chief guest, with leaders from various affiliated wings also addressing the event.

Fakhrul also said the role of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman in advancing workers’ rights, while criticizing the continued exploitation and lack of fair wages for the working class.
