A delegation of the BNP on Tuesday sent two copies of its Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s 13-point proposal for reconstituting the neutral Election Commission to Bangabhaban.
A team of BNP leaders led by BNP Vice-Chairman Ruhul Alam Chowdhury and Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi submitted the copies of the proposal around 11:15am.
The President’s Assistant Military Secretary Brigadier General Md Mainur Rahman received the proposals on behalf of the President who had gone to Singapore for his treatment.
After submitting the proposals, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, “We have handed the proposals to the military secretary of the President. He told us that after coming back the President will meet all the registered political parties regarding the forming of the new EC. The President will return from Singapore after December 11.”
Replying to a question, Rizvi said, if the President calls us, we will attend the meeting.
Earlier on November 18, BNP Chairperson placed the 13-point proposals and called for reconstituting the EC in consultation with representatives of all registered political parties or with representatives of all those political parties who had their representatives in the National Parliament.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said about the BNP chief’s proposal that, “Khaleda Zia drafted a proposal and she can now tell the President about it. We have nothing to say.”
The Prime Minister said it at a press conference on December 3.
