BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Monday called upon people from all walks of life to extend their helping hands to those affected during the recent student-led mass movement.

Speaking at a wheelchair distribution programme, he also said if BNP can form a government with public support, different institutions and establishments across the country will be named after the martyrs.

“I call upon every person in society to come forward to help the people affected by the movement according to their ability,” he said.

Amra BNP Poribar arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club to distribute wheelchairs among 10 people who were maimed during the recent student movement against Sheikh Hasina’s autocratic regime.

Speaking at the programme, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the current interim government was formed with the support of BNP and others who carried out movements to oust the Sheikh Hasina regime. “We’re still supporting this government.”

He, however, said the Chief Adviser’s remarks during an interview with an international media outlet about the tenure of the government for four years to carry out reforms were a matter of concern.

The BNP leader said politicians had led state reforms for ages and would carry out the necessary reforms, while the current government could make some suggestions.

He said the government might try to prolong its power in the name of reforms due to some complications or any evil plan. “It’s a matter of concern for us. The country’s people want to know why four years will be necessary for the reforms and the election.”
