BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said the whole world supports Bangladesh’s democratic transition through elections.
“Our only message is to return to democracy; we will prepare for the February election as instructed by our Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.”
Fakhrul made the remark in response to reporters’ query at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport terminal after returning home from the United States late Friday.
He added, “The whole world supports this democratic transition. Specifically, the support of the democratic world is completely present here.”
The veteran BNP leader travelled to New York on September 23 as part of the delegation of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The Chief Adviser returned home on October 2. The BNP Secretary General returned a day later after attending a party programme in the United States.
Regarding his trip to attend the UN General Assembly session, Mirza Fakhrul said, “We accompanied the honourable Chief Adviser to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly at his invitation, and we fulfilled our responsibilities there as far as we were required. I believe our visit was successful.”
“This is the first time the government has invited the major political parties to demonstrate national unity and in that respect this visit has certainly been successful. Bangladesh’s message has reached the world.”
Fakhrul further said, “We believe that the side meetings held in New York alongside the UN General Assembly session have been very fruitful for Bangladesh and for democracy as a whole.”
