Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has stated that to realize the dream of building a well-governed Bangladesh under the leadership of the youth, it is necessary to create an environment to achieve appropriate state reforms and national political settlement.
At the same time, the organization called for the construction of a democratic, discrimination-free, non-sectarian, transparent and accountable state structure through radical reforms of the state structure to meet the expectations of the students.
TIB believes that the youth will lead the demand for building a well-governed Bangladesh with the guarantee of voting rights, justice, human rights, freedom of expression and freedom of the media.

This coup proves that the irrepressible, irrepressible youth cannot be kept in power by ignoring or oppressing them. All political parties and all concerned parties should learn from this movement – not to suppress the power of youth, but to build a state system suitable for ensuring the fair human rights of the people.
Dr. Iftekharuzzaman said that the auspicious beginning of the new day, through the radical change of the state structure in the light of the true spirit of the liberation war, the youth will show us the way to build a non-discrimination, non-sectarian, transparent, accountable and well-governed homeland with the guarantee of voting rights, justice, human rights, freedom of expression and freedom of the media. we believe
