Tarique Rahman lays out his ‘plan’, says part of it is to create jobs

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman today (22 January) detailed his party’s plan to boost employment for young people during a public rally in Sylhet’s Moulvibazar, as part of the ongoing election campaign.

“When I returned from abroad after 17 years, I shared a vision with you. Do you remember? I said I have a plan. Part of that plan is to create jobs for the country’s unemployed youth –whether educated, semi-educated, or less educated. We want to ensure employment that allows them to stand on their own feet, on a strong foundation,” Tarique told the rally.

He added that the BNP’s strategy goes beyond simply creating jobs. 

“For the young generation, we want to make them economically capable. If you go abroad – to London, the Middle East, or elsewhere – we will provide training and teach you the language of that country so you can secure employment quickly,” he said.

Tarique emphasised the importance of skills in securing higher earnings. 

“If you go abroad without training, your earnings will be low. But with proper preparation, your income will be higher. We aim to make that arrangement for the people of this country,” he added.
