Chief Coordinator of National Citizen Party (NCP) Nasiruddin Patwary on Saturday said that Bangladeshi people witnessed revolution against bullets, now they will see a revolution on the ballot papers in the next national election.
He said this while speaking at a discussion meeting and prize awarding ceremony on the occasion of ‘International MSME Day 2025’, held at the auditorium of Diploma Engineers’ Association in Kakrail, Dhaka.
He said the past Awami League government established a syndicate amongst their politically linked people to provide bank loans and other facilities of MSME sectors.
As a result, general Micro, Small, and Medium Entrepreneurs (MSMEs) were deprived of their legal right of doing smooth businesses. But now that rule will not be longer, the National MSME Association has been formed to create equal opportunities for expanding business, he pointed out.
Nasiruddin Patwary said that the days to rule the country by setting up any kind of syndicate in the banking sector, stock market, MSMEs, export-import and any other sector, are over. Rather educated youth will establish innovative and tech-based business models under different universities of Bangladesh, where merit will be given priority.

Through these activities, discrimination free Bangladesh would be established for all citizens, he said.
Dr. Tasnim Jara, Senior Joint Member Secretary of NCP, said that there is no option to go back again. A social movement has to be established for creating entrepreneurship. So that an entrepreneur garners honour in the society for their family.
Chief coordinator Sarjis Alam said that 10 lakh entrepreneurs will be created among the educated youth in the next two years in the country to empower youths.
He said the NCP encouraged both male and female youths to come forward to establish themselves as entrepreneurs. The National MSME Association will guide them and provide all out support for establishing business and its knowledge.
He also emphasizes to revise curriculum at the intermediate level to give knowledge among youths how to become entrepreneurs.
“Social respect, acknowledgement in family, even in state, will increase support for youth to become entrepreneurs,” he pointed out.
NCP leaders Akram Hossain, and Advocate Humayra Nur among others, spoke in the event.
The National MSME Association gave prizes to the innovative youth entrepreneurs at the end of the event.
