BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Tuesday called upon all to maintain the national unity at any cost to resist any plots by evil quarters.
He also stated that the government should not make any hasty decisions regarding constitutional matters.
The BNP leader came up with the plea while virtually exchanging greetings with members of the Hindu community.
He also urged the members of different religious communities not to be misled by any conspiracy or rumours propagated by associates of the deposed fascist Awami League aimed at destabilising the country.
Tarique Rahman added: “The national unity that has been forged based on the screams of thousands of wounded people and the bloodshed of many must be maintained at any cost.”
Tarique said he believes that if the political and economic empowerment of people can be ensured, no one will be able to take away people's freedom through any conspiracy.
He also said the BNP believes the interim government must not fail as such a failure would represent a setback for pro-democratic and pro-Bangladesh forces.
The BNP leader mentioned that there are various discussions and analyses among political parties and even within the government regarding the formation process of the interim administration.
“Some are raising questions about why the interim government has been sworn in under the current constitution or whether it is a revolutionary government,” he said.
At this point of time, Tarique feared that the questions regarding the formation process could hinder the government's dynamism and lead to a diversion from its objectives.
He also observed: “So, BNP thinks that in matters directly related to national security or constitutional provisions, it is essential to avoid hasty decisions in governing the country. Instead, a well-thought-out and well-considered approach should be followed, making it easier to address any future challenges.”
Although some differences have emerged among the political parties following the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s regime, the BNP leader said, “I believe our goal is the same--establishing a discrimination-free, democratic, and humane Bangladesh. Therefore, BNP does not see any room for misunderstandings among us.”
Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Kalyan Front arranged the program at the Ladies Club in the city's Eskaton area to greet members of the Hindu community and exchange views with them, marking the Durga Puja, which was celebrated in the country with due respect and religious fervor from October 9 to 12.
