Moyeen Khan stresses freedom of speech, people's rights

BNP Standing Committee member and former minister Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan today emphasized that true democracy is a system that guarantees the rights of all citizens and allows everyone to freely express their opinions. "If only one person speaks and imposes authority, that can never be democracy; that would be dictatorship," he said. He made the remarks this afternoon while speaking as the chief guest at a BNP-organized roadside rally in Panditpara village under Palash upazila in Narsingdi. Dr. Moyeen Khan noted, "The democracy for which the people of this country struggled for 15 long years has just begun its journey a year ago. It will be fully realized through a free and fair election in the upcoming national polls."...
