Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote
Awami League Publicity and Publication Affairs Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud called upon BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia to take preparation for the next general election avoiding politics of falsehood. He told this at a rally organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote held recently in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city. “Next general election must be held under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hasan said Awami League submitted their proposal to the President about the constitution of Election Commission. “We believe the President will form a strong EC to hold a free and fair election. BNP will take part in the election,” he said. The AL leader said BNP alliance is now a name of panic to the people as the party led by Begum Khaleda Zia had confined people around 100 days. “None even animals and trees escape from their sabotage and subversive activities to oust an elected government,” he said. Hasan said people have resisted their anarchy that was carried out in the name of movement. The AL leader called upon all pro-liberation forces to be united against the conspiracy of anti-liberation forces for the greater interest of country and its people.
