Accountability and transparency are key to good governance
The people of Bangladesh sought inclusive participation in development activities. Our people fought for a fair, inclusive, and effective democracy, for which the new generation sacrificed their lives. Initially, the student and youth movements were primarily anti-discrimination movements, but over time, they evolved into a mass movement, as noted by Dr. Muhammad Yunus. According to him, this mass movement united the general public, who were deprived of political rights and the benefits of development. It was from a deep belief in liberalism, pluralism, and secularism that the state of Bangladesh emerged. The values that our people embraced in the 1971 Liberation War were revived and seen in a new light by our student community many years later. Through their indomitable determination and resolve, the student community freed us from an authoritarian and undemocratic regime.
