DHAKA, April 2, (V7N) – BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has warned that deposed autocratic forces are attempting to return to power and called on the interim government to ensure they are permanently sidelined in future politics.

Speaking virtually at a rally marking the 5th founding anniversary of the AB Party at Jatiya Press Club, Tarique criticized the Awami League for forming "illegal governments" three times, violating the constitution. He urged the interim government to act decisively, warning that if it fails, a future elected government will pursue legal actions against constitutional violations.

He reaffirmed BNP's commitment to securing the people's right to vote and called for greater political accountability. “If the government and parliament are accountable to the people, Bangladesh’s sovereignty will be safeguarded,” he said.

Tarique welcomed new political parties formed after the fall of the Awami League regime and called for a collective political objective centered on public welfare. He emphasized that lasting reforms are only possible if citizens are politically and economically empowered.

He described the independence of 1971 and the 2024 Student-People’s Uprising as the two most significant events in Bangladesh’s 54-year history and said both would remain pivotal in the country’s political legacy.

AB Party Chairman Mojibur Rahman Monju and General Secretary Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad also addressed the event.

Let me know if you'd like all these BNP-related events combined into a single timeline or briefing document.
