BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir commended Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Thursday for his address to the nation, stating that it articulated the vision of the interim government.

Speaking at a press briefing at the BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, he also expressed hope that the government will swiftly implement the necessary reforms outlined by the Chief Adviser in his speech.

“This is now a very crucial time. In his address to the nation yesterday (Wednesday), the Chief Adviser discussed various reforms (needed for different institutions) and named those have been entrusted with the responsibility for carrying them out,” the BNP leader said.

Fakhrul said that through his address, “He (Yunus) broadly outlined the vision of his government.”

The BNP leader emphasised that these reforms are crucial as the autocratic Sheikh Hasina regime has destroyed all state institutions. “So, we hope these reforms will be completed very promptly.”

He also expressed hope that the government will prioritise promptly establishing the rule of people’s elected representatives and a people’s parliament.

“We wish the interim government’s success, as it came to power through a mass movement. We hope they will meet the hopes and aspirations of the people,” Fakhrul said.

He also said there is no alternative to democracy since it is the system through which the hopes and aspirations of the people can be reflected.

“That’s why our most crucial task now is to build democratic institutions. But this must be done according to the desires of the people. We hope the interim government will realise this and fulfill their duties effectively, so that the people can benefit," the BNP leader said.

Earlier on Wednesday evening, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus in his address to the nation said the interim government decided to form six commissions to reform the judiciary, election system, administration, police, Anti-Corruption Commission, and the constitution.
