BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has praised Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, saying he saw in his words the reflection of late President Ziaur Rahman’s dream of a democratic, developed and corruption-free Bangladesh. “Two days ago, at a US-Bangladesh business forum, when our respected and globally respected Professor Yunus was speaking, I repeatedly felt as if I was listening to Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, the proclaimer of our country’s independence,” he said. Speaking at the NRB Connect Day in New York on Saturday evening (US time), Fakhrul said late President Ziaur Rahman, also the founder of BNP, always dreamt of building a democratic, prosperous and corruption-free Bangladesh. “All of those words seemed to come out through Professor Yunus’ speech on that day.” “One thing we must always remember is that we have to dream. The dreams that Professor Yunus has envisioned must be carried forward, and I believe we will also be able to move ahead with the dreams that Tarique Rahman has envisioned. What we need most is political commitment — we must have that trust and determination within us,” the BNP leader told his audience.
