|| The party describes itself as a moderate Islamic political force that seeks to combine religious values, patriotism, democracy and social justice. At the same time, it says religious harmony, equal citizenship, the rule of law and protection of individual rights will remain central to its politics.He said politics should be regarded as a means of serving people and protecting their rights—not as an instrument for enjoying power.According to Sattar, the principal objective behind the formation of PRP is to establish people's fundamental rights, ensure justice, eliminate corruption and inequality, and create an accountable system of governance.“Politics is a means of serving people; it should not be a tool for enjoying power,” he said.PRP also plans to strengthen direct communication with people at the grassroots level and bring the problems of farmers, workers, small traders, students, young people, women and expatriate Bangladeshis into the political mainstream.Sattar said PRP respects the religious beliefs and values of the people of Bangladesh and considers protection of religious freedom and security a responsibility of the state.He said PRP wants to uphold what it considers the moderate, peaceful and humanitarian values of Islam while ensuring equal dignity and security for Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and followers of other faiths.Winning public trust: the biggest challengeHe acknowledged that speeches and election promises alone cannot win people's trust. Political organisations must demonstrate through their conduct that their words and actions are consistent.He also said party leaders and activists would be instructed not to become involved in extortion, corruption or abuse of power.Local elections and political alliancesThe party plans to give priority to candidates who are honest, competent, popular and connected to their communities, Sattar said.However, he ruled out joining an alliance simply for sharing political power.Energy security as a national prioritySattar said energy security should now be regarded as part of national security because shortages of gas and electricity can disrupt industrial production and threaten the livelihoods of millions of people.For the longer term, the party wants greater exploration for domestic gas, increased investment in renewable energy and reduced dependence on imported fuel.The ultimate objective, according to Sattar, should be affordable energy, stable industrial production and greater employment.Rising prices of essential commodities have placed significant pressure on ordinary households. Sattar blamed a combination of factors for price increases, including international markets, import costs, transport expenses, exchange rates and production costs.PRP wants stronger market monitoring, transparency throughout the supply chain and firm action against illegal syndicates and extortion.At the grassroots level, PRP activists would collect complaints from people and bring them to the attention of relevant authorities.“The responsibility of a political party is to speak for the people and compel state institutions to perform their duties,” he said.Sattar said corruption cannot be eliminated merely through political speeches. Structural reforms within the state are necessary.Digitising public services, he said, could reduce opportunities for corruption by limiting unnecessary intermediaries and increasing transparency.For PRP, he said, the fight against corruption is not merely a political slogan but a fundamental principle of governance.Asked what the party would do during its first 10 days in government, Sattar outlined several immediate priorities.Second, it would take administrative and legal measures against extortion and illegal collection of money.Fourth, it would prevent political influence from being used to control businesses, tenders or administrative decisions.Jobs and opportunities for young peopleSattar argued that young people should not be viewed only as job seekers. They should also be encouraged to become entrepreneurs and creators of employment.It also wants young entrepreneurs to have easier access to loans and business guidance.He identified agriculture, information technology, manufacturing, tourism, healthcare and various service sectors as potential areas for job creation.“Judge us by our work”He said PRP does not want to view citizens merely as voters but as the true owners of the state.Sattar also sought to avoid making what he described as unrealistic promises.For PRP, the political message is straightforward: people's rights, a justice-based state, good governance, employment and a corruption-free Bangladesh.
