BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Monday urged party leaders and activists to actively contribute to nation-building by performing their responsibilities with sincerity and commitment from their respective positions.
“Let us all, from whatever position we are in, try to rebuild our country anew,” he said in a brief address at the BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in the capital where thousands of party leaders and activists gathered.
He also said if anyone sees a piece of paper lying on the road or any litter around, one should remove it if necessary, stressing that through such small acts people could come together to build the country step by step.
Tarique arrived at the party office at 4:06 pm and delivered a short speech from the second floor of the building.
During his address, he requested supporters to leave the Nayapaltan road to help ease vehicular movement in the area, and sought prayers (dua) for the recovery of his ailing mother BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Ahead of the visit, security was tightened in and around the Nayapaltan office.
The main gate of the office was closed from 12:35pm on Monday, while only some senior BNP leaders were allowed to enter the office.
Earlier on Sunday, Tarique visited the BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office and stayed there for nearly nine hours.
