Tarique said democracy cannot be free from risk without a government elected by people.
For the past 17 years, Sanatanis have been politically exploited, but now they have realised this which is very important.
He assured that BNP would work to ensure equal rights for all to build a safer Bangladesh in the future.
BNP Standing Council Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, Chattogram Divisional Organising Secretary Mahbuber Rahman Shamim, Chattogram City Mayor Dr Shahadat Hossain, and other monks and nuns from various monasteries and temples were also present.
