Moyeen Khan criticizes the interim government's position on election reforms
He stated that the interim government will implement reforms, and no one is opposing that.
BNP senior leader Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan criticized the interim government's stance on holding elections after reforms, calling it illogical.
Speaking at the inauguration of a workshop in the capital, he emphasized that the primary responsibility of the interim government is to restore the people's right to vote by conducting a neutral election following the completion of necessary electoral reforms.
"The interim government will implement reforms, and no one is opposing that. However, the issue is that the reforms I implement today might need to be revisited tomorrow," he stated.
The workshop, organized by BNP, focused on the party's 31-point state structure reform outline and was held at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.
Dr. Moyeen, a BNP Standing Committee member, pointed out that reform is a continuous process that never truly ends. "It is illogical to say that reforms should be completed before elections are held, handing over the responsibility of governing the country to the people. Reforms are ongoing, and this argument doesn't hold water."
He stressed that the government must recognize that reforms are an ongoing necessity, as civilization itself progresses through constant change. "So, when will reforms end? There is no valid argument for delaying elections until reforms are fully completed."
Dr. Moyeen reminded that for the past 15 years, the youth who have led revolutions and people from various sectors have been deprived of their voting rights. "Restoring the people's right to vote is the primary responsibility of this government."
He expressed confidence that a credible election could be ensured by protecting the voting rights of the people. "True representatives of the people will form the parliament, which will then establish a government."
Reiterating BNP's commitment, he said the party would implement the 31-point state reform outline if it comes to power. "If the people vote us into power, we will take on the responsibility of serving them, not ruling over them."
Dr. Moyeen also clarified that BNP does not support superficial reforms but advocates for changes that will genuinely benefit the people.
