Dhaka South City BNP on Thursday conducted a leaflet distribution and public outreach campaign at Motijheel against what the party described as propaganda by vested interests about the July National Charter and referendum, and in support of the positive steps taken by the BNP government.
The programme was organised in the morning around the Bangladesh Bank headquarters under the initiative of ward No. 8 unit of BNP under Dhaka South City Corporation.
Dhaka South City BNP Convener and MP from Feni-1 constituency Rafiqul Alam Majnu, Senior Joint Convener Harunur Rashid Harun, Motijheel Thana BNP Convener Alamgir Hossain, Member Secretary Zahid Hossain and Joint Convener Ismail Hossain were present.
During the campaign, the BNP leaders distributed leaflets among people on important roads, alleys, business establishments and general public.
They also explained in detail the objectives of the July Charter, the necessity of the referendum, BNP’s role in restoring democracy and various activities undertaken by the party to establish people’s rights.
The leaders alleged that a quarter has been deliberately trying to create confusion among people regarding the July Charter and referendum.
They said BNP has always practised politics based on the hopes and aspirations of the people and has consistently played an uncompromising role in establishing democracy, voting rights and human rights in the country.
During the outreach programme, BNP leaders also highlighted what they described as the achievements of BNP governments in infrastructure development, education, healthcare, communication, agriculture and the economy, saying those developments are still remembered by the people.
They said BNP had worked sincerely in the past to improve people’s living standards, create employment opportunities, establish the rule of law and build a democratic and accountable state system, and will continue to stand beside the people in the future as well.
They urged people not to be misled by propaganda and rumours, and to remain united in the interest of the country.
