Let individualism flourish through our culture and tradition

The customs, traditions, beliefs, rituals, art, literature, food habits, clothing, and languages of people throughout the generations - in short, everything that has been underway for hundreds of thousands of years of a country and a nation is part of its heritage. Among all these, some special unique features carry the unique identity of the people of a country and nation - they are part of the special heritage. No nation wants to destroy these traditions. Otherwise, the identity of a nation is erased. We also have some such traditions - our Baul songs, Pohela Boishakh, winter pithas, shital pati, rickshaws, etc. Some of our traditions have been recognized as world heritage by the United Nations Cultural Organization UNESCO - Sompur Bihar, Sundarbans, Shital Pati in Sylhet, Baul songs, the Bagherhat shat gumbos masjid, Jamdani, Dhaka's rickshaws and rickshaw paintings, Iftar, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's March 7 speech.

Reduce poverty rate, increase food security

A visit to the Karwan Bazar area of Dhaka makes it clear how much the poverty rate and food insecurity have increased recently in the country. Wholesale vendors bring various vegetables to Karwan Bazar from different parts of the country. When some of these vegetables are spoiled or slightly damaged, they are bought at a lower price and many people arrange them in rows to sell. Recently, there has been an increasing crowd of buyers and sellers in that area. The crowd is also growing behind the trucks of the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB). In the past, only low-income people used to stand in line at the TCB trucks, but now it is apparent that many middle-class people are also standing there.

Stop extortion at every level

It is no secret that many businesses in Bangladesh rely on extortion. This has been a terrible cycle of corruption in Bangladesh for a long time. Successive governments come and go; but the pattern of extortion remains the same. When various reforms are being carried out in the state after the popular July uprising, it was hoped that extortion would also decrease somewhat; but there is no sign of a decrease, in some cases it has even increased. A businessman in Dhaka recently told the media, “Earlier, extortion had to be paid to one person, now it has to be paid to four or five people.”
