Let us unite to end political vendettas and begin a new chapter in history, where no one’s life or family will be destroyed due to political differences.”

Tareq Rahman further wrote, “We pledge to uphold the spirit of democracy that relies on diversity of beliefs and ideologies, empowering the people of Bangladesh to determine their own destiny through electoral participation. In that journey, we aspire to uphold the rule of law, human rights and freedom of expression, protect the rights and freedoms of every citizen, and build an inclusive, tolerant and rules-based society.”
