Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu said that the proposals submitted by BNP to the Election Commission (EC)clearly reveal that they had no not electoral road map but had roadblocks for holding a proper election.
“It is a proposal to complicate the situation not for electoral participation,” Inu said.
The minister was speaking at a press conference at the Press Information Department (PID) auditorium here on Tuesday.
He said there was nothing new in the BNP proposals. “They were basically saying the old things, over and over again,” he said.
“Their demand for a neutral, election assisting government and dissolution of parliament did not go with the spirit of the constitution. Moreover, the court had ruled that such a political set up was illegal,” he said.
Referring to the BNP’s demand of deploying the armed forces with magisterial power, Inu said that in each constituency a judicial magistrate and an executive magistrate were deployed and there was no scope for appointing any further magistrates.
