Drawing attention of the BNP leaders, Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said there is no alternative to elections to change the government. “If you [BNP leaders] want to change the government, you must take party in elections,” he said. The ruling party leader said this recently while addressing a discussion marking the National Mourning Day. Swadhinata Chikitshak Parishad (SWACHIP) of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) unit organized the function. “I want to inform you clearly that if you want any change in the government then you have to participate in the polls…it is not possible to change the government without holding polls,” Quader said, drawing the attention of BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul. Chaired by Convener of SWACHIP BSMMU unit Prof Dr Abu Nasar Rizvi, the discussion was also addressed, among others, by Bangladesh Medical Association President Dr Mostafa Jalal Mahiuddin, BSMMU Vice Chancellor Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Md Sharfuddin Ahmed, Awami League Health and Population Affairs Secretary Dr Rokeya Sultana, SWACHIP President Dr M Iqbal Arsalan, its Secretary General Dr Mohammad M A Aziz and Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) Secretary General Dr Ihtesamul Huq Chowdhury. About the use of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) in the elections, the ruling party leader said this technology has been used in various elections of the local government, saying that even the EVM was used in municipalities and city corporation polls. But anyone didn’t arise any question, he added.
