Zubaida went on to say, "We want to give everyone the dignity of labor, merit-based jobs, rights and justice, and equal opportunities for all."
Emphasising a people-centred approach to governance, she added, "We aim to build a society and state where citizens come before the leader. We will work together to develop the country, putting the people first."
Addressing those present, she acknowledged the audience's participation and concerns.
"You have shared your valuable time with us and told us your problems. We will continue to listen and learn, so that we can create a state based on equality, knowledge, and the dignity of labor by addressing problems fairly," she said.
This marked Zubaida Rahman's first public speech at a political event since returning to Bangladesh. Although she has previously attended events alongside her husband, she had not addressed the audience before.
