Staff Reporter :
The BNP on Monday rejected results of the 11th Parliamentary Election, but demanded a fresh one under a non-party caretaker government immediately.
The party’s Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir gave the call in an official post-election press briefing at Gulshan yesterday evening.
His reaction was found in a meeting of BNP’s highest policy-making committee- the standing committee at BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office.
Mirza Fakhrul said, the government steered the election by unfair use of state mechanisms like the administration and police in a planned manner.
The BNP leader said their leaders, the activists and sympathisers are coming under attacks across the country even after Sunday’s general election.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleged that houses of their leaders and activists are vandalised and torched.
The BNP highest policy making body also sat with the top leaders of its 20-party alliance on the same venue to discuss the same issue and draw up further course of their politics.
Meanwhile, Jatiya Oikyafront policy making body which include BNP leaders as well sat in another meeting to chalk out their next strategies after the election debacle.
Oikyafront and BNP-led 20-Party Alliance bagged only seven seats while the Awami League-led grand alliance won 288 seats in the 11th Parliament held yesterday.
