The BNP considers the provision in the budget for the fiscal year 2025-26 to legalize black money unjust to those who pay taxes regularly.

BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury outlined the party’s stance during a formal response to the national budget, held on Wednesday, at the party chairperson’s office in Gulshan, Dhaka.

He said that the BNP would announce its 180-day action plan for forming a government even before assuming office.

As part of the plan, the party intends to enhance the social dignity of primary school teachers and provide them with specialized training, he added.

Khasru said multilingual education would be introduced at the primary level.

The BNP also plans to launch various technical courses under government management, he said.
