BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Monday called for a shift in Bangladesh’s political culture, saying politics must move beyond decades of blame and confrontation and focus instead on improving the lives of ordinary people. The event saw BNP provide financial assistance to three-year-old Afia, a child born with albinism, a genetic condition. Tarique said true politics is about easing people’s suffering, not merely criticizing rivals from public platforms. Referring to decades of confrontational politics, he said: “We have followed a certain style of politics for many years. “Insha’Allah, when BNP forms government in the coming days, just as Begum Khaleda Zia always stood beside you, so too will her party, BNP, stand firmly beside you,” he said.
