Secretary General of Bangladesh Nationalist Party Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday said the Election Commission’s roadmap is just a ‘blueprint’ to bring Awami League in power again.
“The EC unveiling the roadmap defying people’s expectation has started its journey to implement blueprint of putting Awami League in power using old technique,” Fakhrul said.
He came up with remarks during giving BNP’s formal reaction to EC’ Action Plan for 11th Parliamentary Election announced by Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda on Sunday.
BNP Standing Committee Members Khandoker Mosharraf Hossain, Moudud Ahmed, Mirza Abbas and Gayeshwar Chandra Roy were present at the press conference.
Fakhrul criticised the Chief Election Commissioner for his “failure to create a level playing field” for political parties before announcing the roadmap for the next general election. Fakhrul said the countrymen believe that no fair and credible election is possible under the ruling party management while the Chief Election Commissioner has stated that it is possible. Such type of statement is similar to the remarks of the Prime Minister, Minister and other ruling party lawmakers, the BNP leader said. Fakhrul said the roadmap is a part of conspiracy as it has been announced without resolving the issue of polls-time supportive government.
“It is nothing but an effort to reestablish one party rule in the country in a planned way,” he said.
He claimed that the nation was extremely ‘frustrated’ and aggrieved’. Fakhul said the nation had expected that EC would take effective step freeing from all fear and influence for implementing the demand of election-conducive government for ensuring participation of all political parties in election.
