UNB, Dhaka :
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday said their party will join the next national election if it is held under an ‘election-time supportive’ government ensuring a level-playing field.
Talking to reporters near BNP founder Ziaur Rahman’s grave, he also claimed that their party
 has 900 prospective candidates to contest the 11th parliamentary elections from 300 constituencies.
“BNP is an election-oriented party. We believe in election. We’re always ready to join the election if an election-time supportive government and proper election environment are in place,” the BNP leader said.
Earlier, Fakhrul together with the leaders and activists of Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal placed wraths at Zia’s grave marking the 38th founding anniversary of the BNP’s labour wing.
The BNP secretary general alleged that the more the government is getting alienated from people, the more it is squeezing democratic space to cement its one-party rule.
