NINTH PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS-2008

In preparation for the general elections on December 29, the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party recently announced their electoral manifestoes outlining their plans
and programmes for the next five years. It may be noted that the BNP manifesto is in Bangla. No English translation is officially available. The document has been kept in that form in
order for its originality to be maintained. We print the two manifestoes in their entirety in the interest of our readers.
We also print the list of candidates for the parliamentary elections along with the manifestoes. -- Editor

Election Manifesto of Bangladesh Election Manifesto of Bangladesh

Awami League-2008 Nationalist Party (BNP)

A Charter for Change wem&wgj-vwni ivngvwbi ivwng

Bangladesh achieved its independence thirty eight years ago through the supreme sacri-
fices of thirty lakh Bengalis, three crore displaced people and half a million abused and
tortured women. Today, the country stands at the crossroads of history. After a seven year
period of misrule and emergency, there is going to be a free, fair and peaceful election to
parliament on 29 December 2008
Bangladesh Awami League is proud of its glorious leadership in the liberation war and
its upholding of the core principles of nationalism, democracy, secularism, and an equita-
ble society free from exploitation. It may be recalled that the architect of our independ-
ence, the greatest Bengali of all time, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was the
founder of our party. Under the bold leadership of Bangabandhu, difficult but successful
steps were initiated to reconstruct the war-devastated country and to build a prosperous
Bangladesh. But all of a sudden the dastardly assassination of the Father of the Nation,
members of his family, and some colleagues on 15th August 1975, and the subsequent
killing of four national leaders inside the Dhaka Central Jail on 3rd November, 1975 trans-
formed Bangladesh into a country of military rule and autocratic governance.
The military government and the political parties formed in the cantonment in the
aftermath of this change destroyed the spirit of the freedom struggle and the promise of a
secular, democratic, equitable and prosperous Bangladesh. The mutilation of the demo-
cratic constitution, rehabilitation of war criminals and religious fanatics, criminalization
of politics and promotion of militancy, institutionalization of corruption, and the sway of
black money and muscle power overtook the post-Bangabandhu governments.
The people of Bangladesh were, however, only temporarily defeated but not van-
quished and the heroic struggle of the people and the martyrdom of many resulted, after
21 long years, in the formation of a government by the daughter of Bangabandhu, Sheikh
Hasina, through the power of the ballot exercised on 12th June 1996.
Achievements of Bangladesh Awami League (1996-2001)
A glorious chapter replete with successes was written during the five year rule of Awami
League from 1996-2001. In only five years, Bangladesh attained self sufficiency in food
production. Prices remained within the purchasing capacity of the people. Inflation came
down to 1.59 percent. Meanwhile, the growth rate of the economy increased to 6.2 per-
cent. The treaty on the water sharing of the river Ganges, the peace accord in Chittagong

 ELECTION SPECIAL
FROM PAGE 1
Hill Tracts, recognition of 21st February as international mother language day, election to
the UN Security Council, sub-regional cooperation through the formation of D-8,
BIMSTEC and the Association for Asian Parliamentarians for Peace (AAPP) bestowed on
Bangladesh a new position of prestige and importance in the global arena.
Various initiatives taken for alleviation of poverty resulted in the reduction of poverty
from an annual average of .50 to 1.50 percent, while the human poverty indicator came
down from 41.6 percent to 32 percent. Achieving growth of 56 percentage points in the UN
Human Development Index (HDI) in five years was a record. Increase of literacy rate to 65
percent, formulation of an education policy and the removal of session backlogs in educa-
tional institutions were significant achievements in the educational front.
Incredible success was also achieved in the electricity and power, and transport and
communication sectors. In only five years, production of 1,800 megawatt of electricity
raising the total output to 4300 megawatt, increase in gas production and exploration,
completion of the Jamuna Bridge; construction of 62,000 kilometers of paved and
unpaved roads and building of 19,000 bridges and culverts vastly improved the country's
overall infrastructure.
Internal savings increased from 14.7 percent of national income to 18 percent over the
five year period and the rate of investment increased from 20 percent to 23.1 percent.
During the Awami League rule, 1 lakh 22 thousand small and medium size industries were
established. Millions of job opportunities for the unemployed were created through facili-
tating private investment. One community clinic for every six thousand people was estab-
lished at government initiative. Withdrawal of taxes and duties on medical equipment
encouraged setting up of clinics and hospitals in the private sector. By abolishing monop-
oly in the mobile telephone sector and making mobile phones available to everyone at low
prices and increasing access to information technology by reducing import duties, the
Awami League government made it possible for Bangladesh to enter the digital age.
Rule of law and establishment of human rights were ensured by repealing the infamous
indemnity ordinance, bringing to trial the killers of Bangabandhu and the four national
leaders and by establishing the Law Commission. The Public Administration Reform
Commission (PARC) was formed to establish good governance in the country. A progres-
sive women's development policy was also formulated. In the parliament, the Prime
Minister's Question hour was introduced and the Parliamentary Committees were acti-
vated and strengthened by appointing members as chairmen of parliamentary commit-
tees replacing the ministers. Necessary laws were passed to decentralize power through
establishing a four tier local government system. Various steps were taken to bring back
the spirit of the liberation war and the glory of freedom movement and a regeneration of
Bengali culture. During the five year rule of the Awami League, the country had effectively
turned around and transformed itself into a land of immense possibilities. The Awami
League's five year rule will go down in the annals of history as nothing short of a golden
period.
Corruption and Misgovernance of BNP-Jamaat Alliance Government
Bangladesh in a critical state
The five-year misrule of the BNP-Jamaat alliance government did away with all the prom-
ises generated by the Awami League government. The situation in Bangladesh became
grim both politically and economically. There was a phenomenal rise of terrorism.An
assassination attempt was made on the Leader of the Opposition Sheikh Hasina on 21st
August, 2004 ostensibly under government tutelage that resulted in the murder of 24 party
leaders and workers, including a woman leader Mrs. Ivy Rahman. BNP-Jamat Alliance
and its criminal cronies killed 21,000 leaderss and workers of the Awami League including
former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament, SAMS Kibria; labour leader and
Member of Parliament, Ahsanullah Master; Advocate Monzurul Imam and
Momtazuddin. Hundreds of thousands of Awami League supporters and members of the
minority community became victims of political vengeance of the BNP-Jamat alliance.
Criminal syndicates were organized under the patronage of the infamous Hawa
Bhaban combine. Thousands of women and girls became victims of rape. Teachers, stu-
dents, journalists, intellectuals, women and children, businessman no group of people
could escape the clutches of the fascist forces. People's lives became absolutely insecure.
With support from the government, extreme communal militancy was born and serial
grenade and bomb attacks and murders turned Bangladesh into a haven of extremist
terrorism. Meanwhile, extra-judicial killings became a norm, and the rule of law disap-
peared. Bangladesh was then being described as a failed state.
During the five year rule of the BNP-Jamat alliance, prices of food and other essential
commodities rose beyond the reach of the common people. Commodity prices increased
by 100 to 200 percent. Inflation increased from 1.59 during Awami League rule to over 10
percent during the BNP-Jamat alliance government. On the other hand, the average
growth rate of 5.6 percent achieved during the Awami League rule declined to 5.1 percent.
Though the population increased by more than one crore, food production decreased to 2
crore 61 lakh tons from the 2 crore 68 1akh tons annually produced during Awami League
rule.
Poverty levels again increased to 45 percent and the population planning stagnated.
Income disparity between the poor and the rich increased. During the last seven years, an
additional one crore twenty lakh people slipped below the poverty line. Both domestic
and foreign investment decreased. Though BNP-Jamat combine came to power on the
slogan of jihad against corruption, criminalisation and corruption became the policy of
the government. Under the leadership of the son of the Prime Minister, criminal godfa-
thers became extremely influential. The Hawa Bhaban became a parallel centre of state
power and the source of all corruption and militancy.
The incredibly high levels of corruption and misuse of power by the Ministers of the
BNP-Jamaat alliance; the members of Parliament and the leaders and workers of the alli-
ance as well as a very politicised administration drove Bangladesh to the top of the list of
the world's most corrupt nations, where it remained for five successive years.
Governmental corruption, inefficiency and mismanagement led to failure in develop-
ment. The power crisis became unbearable but the government failed to add a single
megawatt of electricity to the national power grid during its entire five year term. In the
power sector alone, Taka twenty thousand crore was misused or stolen. Due to the
extreme shortfall in the production of power, education and agricultural sectors faced an
acute crisis. When farmers took to the streets demanding uninterrupted power supply at
Kansat, some twenty of them were shot and killed.

 ELECTION SPECIAL
FROM PAGE 2
An all-pervasive stagnation prevailed in the education, health, communication and
women's development sectors. The alliance government politicized the administration,
police, armed forces, judiciary, universities, public service commission, and all other
government and many non-governmental organizations. Hundreds of civil, military and
police officers were dismissed from service or given forced retirement. At the same time,
irregular appointments and promotion were given to corrupt and inefficient personnel
who were party loyalists. Leakage of public service examination question papers became
a norm to facilitate recruitment of party cadres.
The constitution was amended and the retirement age of the judges of the appellate
division of the Supreme Court was extended by two years with the ultimate objective of
appointing a party loyalist who would then serve as the Chief Advisor of the Caretaker
government. By appointing inefficient and corrupt people as judges, the prestige of the
judiciary and its status as a bastion of fairness and justice were destroyed. BNP-Jamaat
alliance government made the Parliament ineffective and destroyed all democratic insti-
tutions. The opposition members of Parliament were not allowed to speak, the permanent
committees ceased to function effectively, and democratic practices were trampled under
brute majority enjoyed by the then government.
The Election Commission was turned into a loyalist organ and election engineering
was resorted to so that the BNP-Jamaat alliance could win the election due in January
2007, and permanently enjoy power. Disregarding the constitution and the judgment of
the Supreme Court, a voters list was prepared which added12.3 million fake voters. Three
hundred party loyalists were appointed as Upazilla election officers. Stealing of people's
voting rights and election engineering were taken to such a level that the whole electoral
process lost its credibility.
Caretaker Regime (October 2006-November 2008)
The BNP-Jamaat alliance government faced strong resistance from the public while trying
to transfer power to loyalists. At the very end of their rule, they killed 70 leaders and work-
ers of Awami League throughout the country. In its effort to come back to power, the BNP-
Jamaat combine began implementing its blue print. Violating constitutional provisions
Begum Zia's puppet President lajuddin Ahmed formed a Caretaker government appoint-
ing himself as Chief Advisor. Chief Adviser Iajuddin could never rise above party interests
and four of his Advisers resigned in protest against his indecision and duplicity. He failed
to create conditions for a free and fair election and faced people's resistance. At a critical
juncture, on 11 January 2007, Emergency was declared in the country. Prof Iajuddin
admitted his guilt and resigned from the position of Chief Advisor. With popular support, a
new Caretaker government was formed under the leadership of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed
with behind the scene support of the armed forces. Under the Emergency political activi-
ties were banned for an indefinite period.
Meanwhile, the tenure of the present Caretaker government has crossed nearly two
years. The government has been ruling the country with various limitations, weaknesses,
lapses as well as some successes. This government has separated the judiciary from the
executive, reformed the Election Commission, Public Service Commission, Anti-
Corruption Commission etc. Another positive step taken by this government was the
preparation of a voters' list with photograph. Our armed forces have earned people's
admiration for accomplishing this task with great efficiency. The caretaker government
has also reformed the electoral laws and procedure.
The forthcoming parliamentary elections have created an opportunity for the re-
establishment of democracy and inspired hopes for rapid socio-economic development
mainly by providing good governance and people's participation. In this context Bangla-
desh Awami League declares its election manifesto with the promise of change by making
our dear motherland a country free from hunger and poverty, illiteracy, corruption and
militancy. We believe that the right to vote and the right to food hold the key to the allevia-
tion of poverty.
Our Promise, Work Programme and Declaration
The Awami League's Vision 2021
Awami League is committed to freeing Bangladesh from its current state of crisis and build-
ing a country whose citizens are able to live prosperous and happy lives. The year 2021 will
mark the golden jubilee of Bangladesh's independence, while the year 2020 will be the hun-
dredth anniversary of the birth of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman. We envision a democratic system where people choose their government freely
and get services from it without hassle, enjoy freedom from fear and intolerance, live with
dignity; where every citizen is assured of social justice, environmental protection, human
rights and equal opportunities; and where the rule of law and good governance flourish. We
envision a liberal, progressive and democratic welfare state. Simultaneously we envision a
Bangladesh which by 2020/2021, will be a middle income country where poverty will be
drastically reduced; where our citizens will be able to meet every basic need and where
development will be on fast track, with ever-increasing rates of growth. Towards that goal,
Bangladesh Awami League will frame a strategy paper, at the core of which will be the prom-
ise of change. This strategy paper will contain both mid-term and long term plans.
Bangladesh Awami League is placing before the nation the following set of election
promises, work schedule and declaration in the light of its Vision 2021, and in the context
of problems the country is facing as well as the existing global financial crisis. This election
manifesto has been prepared keeping in mind the 31-point election reform program of
15th July 2005, the 23-point common minimum program of 14 Party Alliance on 22nd
November, 2005 and the experience and realities of the past seven years. Considering the
existing politico-socio-economic crisis, five subjects have been given priority:
Five Priority Issues
1. In The Face Of Global Financial Crisis, Maintenance Of Economic Stability And Con-
trol Over Commodity Price Hike

i. Commodity Price Hike: Measures will be taken to reduce the unbearable burden of
price hike and keep it in tune with the purchasing power of the people. After giving the
highest priority to the production of domestic commodities, arrangements will be made
for timely import to ensure food security. A multi-pronged drive will be made to control
prices along with monitoring the market. Hoarding and profiteering syndicates will be
eliminated. Extortion will be stopped. An institution for commodity price control and
consumer protection will be set up. Above all, price reduction and stability will be
achieved by bringing equilibrium between demand and supply of commodities.
ii. Global Financial Crisis: It is necessary to urgently form a task force which will devise a
policy to save Bangladesh from global meltdown, develop a comprehensive information
center, continually monitor national and global situations and provide prompt advice to
help take necessary decisions. Necessary steps would be taken for investment promotion,
energy security, retaining and enhancing domestic demand, safeguarding value of
money, assisting exports and continuing export of manpower.
2. Effective Action against Corruption: Multi-pronged measures to fight corruption will
be put into place. Powerful people will have to submit wealth statement annually. Strict
measures will be taken to eliminate bribe, extortion, rent seeking and corruption. Strong
measures will be taken against those having unearned and black money, against loan
defaulters, tender manipulators, and users of muscle power in every stage of state and
society. State or private monopoly will be broken up. Discretionary power of officials will
be curtailed. To establish peoples' right, citizens' charter will be introduced in every
department. Opportunities for corruption will be eliminated or minimized through wide-
spread computerization.
3. Power and Energy:
i. A comprehensive long term policy on electricity and energy will be adopted. Economic
usage of oil, gas, coal, hydro power, wind power and solar energy will be ensured. Big and
small power generation stations, coal extraction, and oil and gas exploration will be given
priority. Under a three year crash program quick implementation of ongoing and under
consideration power generation stations, import of electricity from neighboring coun-
tries, arranging 100/150 megawatt gas turbine projects on urgent basis, and the reactiva-
tion of the past AL initiatives for constructing 10, 20 and 30 megawatt power stations will
be undertaken. A schedule for repair, maintenance and overhauling or salvaging of old
power stations will be made to increase and stabilize power production. Supply of gas and
LPG will be increased. The Rooppur Nuclear Power Project will be implemented.
In the next three years or by 2011 power production will be increased to 5000 megawatt
and by 2013 it will be further increased to 7000 megawatt.
ii. Priority will be given to exploration and exploitation of oil and new gas fields.
Arrangements will be made to supply gas in the north and western regions of the country.
Supply of gas and LPG will be significantly increased.
iii. A Coal Policy will be formulated safeguarding national interest. Special initiatives
will be taken to ensure economic use of the coal available so far and also to develop coal-
based power plants. Priorities will be given to the exploration and exploitation of new coal
fields and other mineral resources.
4. Elimination of Poverty and Inequity: The following strategy and aims will be fol-
lowed for socio-economic development.
i. The main strategy of poverty reduction will center on bringing vibrancy in agriculture
and rural life. Social safety net will be extended for the ultra-poor. By 2013 poverty level
and proportion of ultra-poor will be brought down to 25% and 15% respectively. At pres-
ent there are 65 million poor people in the country. This number will be reduced to 45
million by 2013 and will further come down to 22 million in 2021. In order to achieve this
objective, among other steps will be the revival of previously adopted projects such as
"one house, one farm", rural housing, ideal village and returning homes. The number of
recipients of old age allowance and destitute women allowance would, at the least, be
doubled. Employment Banks will encourage young entrepreneurs by supplying neces-
sary capital. Revision of the just formulated PRSP will be undertaken after a thorough
evaluation within six months of assuming office.
ii. Employment guidelines: A comprehensive employment guideline will be formu-
lated aiming at poverty reduction, solving unemployment problem and making citizens'
lives meaningful. The core components of the guidelines will be: a. creating employment
opportunities in rural economy b. providing credit and training for self-employment c.
creating employment opportunities for wage-labour in industries d. promoting sub-
contracting arrangements between big and small & medium scale industries and e. pro-
viding special training arrangements for facilitating export of labour. The number of
unemployed people in the country, estimated at 28 million, will be reduced to 24 million
by 2013 and will be further reduced to 15 million by 2021.
5. Establishment of Good Governance:
i. Terrorism and religious extremism will be controlled with iron hand. Trial of war
criminals will be arranged.
ii. Genuine independence and impartiality of the judiciary will be ensured. Extrajudi-
cial killings will be stopped. The judgment of the Bangabandhu murder case will be made
effective and the retrial of jail killings will be held. Trial of real criminals responsible for the
grenade attack of the 21st August, 2004 through proper investigation will be arranged.
Rule of law will be established, the Human Rights Commission will be strengthened and
made effective, and an Ombudsman will be appointed. Human rights will be strictly
enforced.
iii. The on-going reform programme of the Election Commission and electoral system
will continue. The Parliament will be made effective and the government will be made
accountable for all its activities. Wealth statement and source of income of the Prime
Minister, members of cabinet, Parliament members and of their family members will be
made public every year. Except for some specific subjects related to the security of the
state, Parliament members will be allowed to express differing opinions.

 ELECTION SPECIAL
FROM PAGE 7
e. A South Asian Task Force will be formed for meeting the challenge of terrorism and
militancy.
The image and prestige of Bangladesh will be retrieved and improved in the international
arena.
Call to the People of Bangladesh
Dear countrymen,
You are aware that the activities of the past government have now placed our dear mother-
land in a critical state. The people do not wish to return to the days of poor governance of
the kind they have seen under the BNP-Jamaat Alliance. The people want a country free of
terrorism and corruption; they want a just and progressive society. They want to see Ban-
gladesh move towards steady development and good governance.
Bangladesh Awami League, therefore, wants not only a mere change of power. We are
determined to salvage the country from its present critical state and to transform it into a
land of real democracy with rule of law, having food security, rapid development and
peaceful existence. With this end in view we are presenting our long term vision for the
nation as well as an implementable five year work plan with specific targets and strategies.
We believe that the invaluable experience that Bangladesh Awami League gained in
administering the country (during the 1996-2001 term) can be utilized with great effi-
ciency, honesty and commitment to take the country forward.
We dedicate our Vision-2021 to the young generation, who are enrolled as voters this
year for the first time, with the aim of building a bright future for them. In order to prepare
ourselves to face the challenges of globalization in this 21st century, we want to utilize the
immense potentials of our new generation of voters. We have formulated our Election
Manifesto and work programme for them.
We believe the successful implementation of this work programme and Vision-2021
depends on our young generations' active participation and involvement in the process.
By implementing this Manifesto with the collective efforts of the entire nation, we will
present a bright and successful future to the new generation. We call upon them to partici-
pate in this great endeavour of national reconstruction and build a bright future for them-
selves and as well as successive generations.
Dear countrymen,
If Awami League is voted to rule the country, we will bring back peace and trust in your
life by reducing the price of daily essentials.
We call upon you to forget past differences and disputes and, in the spirit of our glori-
ous struggle for freedom, work unitedly in this fight for change. Let us put a permanent
end to persecution, deprivation, inequity, and mis-governance. Let us construct a just and
democratic society and build a happy, prosperous, golden Bengal.
We seek the help and blessings of the Almighty in our endeavours.
Joy Bangla.
Joy Bangabandhu.
Long live Bangladesh.
ANNEXURE
The vision of Awami League for resolution of crisis and a prosperous future
(Vision 2021)
Bangladesh as we want to see in 2021
1. Caretaker Government, Democracy & Effective Parliament
*Democracy and strong democratic institutions will be established for holding reliable
election at regular intervals, accountability of government and effective Parliament. All
necessary steps will be taken for making Parliament effective.
2. Political framework, Decentralization of Power & People's Participation
*Local government will be given due importance with a view to effecting radical change
of the political system. The local government institutions will play a critical role in devel-
opment programmes. Self-reliant local self-government institutions will be established at
upazila and zila levels to this end.
3. Good governance through establishing Rule of Law and avoiding Political Partisan-
ship
*Human rights will be established on a strong footing with a view to ensuring rule of
law. Independence of the judiciary will be ensured and the Institutions of the State and
Administration will be freed from partisan influence. The basis of appointment and pro-
motion will be merit, efficiency, seniority, honesty and loyalty to the Republic; political
connection will have no relevance.
4. Transformation of political culture
*Terrorism, corruption and use of religion for politics will be stopped. Steps appropri-
ate to the time will be taken to establish democratic principles in the political parties,
transparency of political funding, civility and tolerance.
5. A society free from corruption
*The institutions of the State will be made more effective along with the independent
and strong Anti-corruption Commission for curbing corruption. Social resistance to
corruption will be promoted along side legal steps. All possible steps will be taken to stop
corruption such as Charter of Citizens' Rights, Right to Information, Computerization of
Official Documents, and Decentralization of Power.
6. Empowerment and Equal Rights for Women
*The Women's Policy of 1997 will be revived for ensuring equal right and access for
women to the state and social space; laws which discriminate against women will be
amended; and 100 seats will be reserved for women for direct election.
7. Economic Development & Initiative
a. Meeting basic needs: With a view to providing food, clothing, shelter, education and
health care to the citizens in accordance with Article 15 of the Constitution, gross domes-
tic product will be raised to 8% by 2013 and 10% by 2021 which will be sustained thereafter.

b. Population and labour force: Population in 2021 is estimated at 165 million, and
labour force at 105 million. Programmes will be taken up for employment of 85% of the
work force.
c. Alleviation of poverty: We aim not at reduction of poverty, but removal of poverty, to
which end we shall try to achieve the Millennium Goals declared by UN by 2015, and by 2017
latest. Beginning in 2021, poverty will be reduced to 15% from 45% now progressively. Pov-
erty will rise from 45 million now to 65 million in 2021, and then fall to 25 million in 2021.
Sustainable safety net will be established for the extreme poor until poverty is removed.
d. Food & nutrition: Food deficit will be removed and self-reliance in food production
achieved by 2012, which will enable us to meet the nutrition needs of 85% of the population.
e. Health Care: By 2021, minimum daily intake of 2122 kilo calories of food, elimination
of contagious disease, primary health care and sanitation for all will be ensured. Average
longevity will be increased to seventy years, and efforts will be made for the reduction of
child and maternal mortality.

g. Industry: A strong foundation for industrialization will be established by 2021. Con-
tribution of the industrial sector to national GDP will be doubled. Primacy will be given to
agro and labour intensive industries and the highest emphasis will be given to informa-
tion technology sector. The investment policy will be geared to implementing a strategy
attracting both domestic and foreign investment.
h. Energy Security: An energy policy will be adopted tapping all sources of traditional
and non-traditional energy to ensure accelerated rate of economic development and
industrialization. A three year crash programme will be taken up to meet the existing
crisis. By 2015, electricity production will be increased to 8000 megawatt. By 2021,
demand for electircity is projected to increase to 20,000 megawatt. We will take all possible
actions aiming at enhancing our generation capacity. To increase gas production, regular
survey of gas resources and work on well development will be undertaken. To meet energy
demand, efforts will be undertaken for regional energy security through mutual coopera-
tion in addition to exploring internal sources.
i. Infrastructural Development: Road, rail, river and air transport and telecommunica-
tion systems will be expanded. Construction of bridge, tunnel for Padma and Karnaphuli
rivers, connecting Bangladesh with Asian Highway and Asian Railway, improvement of
port facilities, building of a deep sea port to open up Bangladesh ports to countries of Asia
will be implemented. In Dhaka, construction of metro tunnel, elevated rail and circular
rail to remove traffic jams and to solve public transport problems will be studied forthwith
in order to undertake a feasible project. The project will then be implemented on a priority
basis
j. Housing: By 2015, housing for all will be ensured. In every union and upazila, 'growth
center' centric village housing and in towns housing with modern amenities will be
implemented.
k. Environment: All measures will be taken to protect Bangladesh-- including planned
migration abroad-- from the adverse effects of climate change and global warming. Fac-
ing natural calamities, planned reduction of air pollution, prevention of industry and
transport related air pollution and disposal of waste in scientific manner will be ensured.
Steps will be taken to make Bangladesh an ecologically attractive place through retention
of forests and water bodies and prevention of river erosion.
l. Water Resources: Bangladesh Awami League will take the initiative to formulate a
comprehensive regional water policy along with India, Nepal and Bhutan for regional
water security. In addition, in keeping with a comprehensive water police, articulated
earlier by Bangladesh Awami League, measures will be taken for development of our
water resources and their rational use.
8. Bangladesh in the Global Arena
a. Achievments of liberation: Multi-pronged measures will be taken to uphold the
glorious history and the fruits of liberation, to energize the new generation with the spirit
of liberation struggle, patriotism and love for humanity. Highest priority will be given to
development of innovative spirit of the younger generations and opportunity will be
provided for them to participate in nation building activities.
b. Culture: Measures will be taken to remove obstacles in the development of Bengali
culture, literature, art, music and sport and to provide all opportunities by the state to
enable the younger generations to attain international standards and to contribute to the
