BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has commented that election will be held in future without Awami League chief and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in case of need.
She made the comment in reactions to the demand made by party’s councillors and grassroots level leaders during the concluding session of the BNP’s sixth national council on Saturday night held in the Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB) in the city.
In open discussion of the council, the grassroots level leaders and the councillors said that they won’t take part in any election under Sheikh Hasina because election under her would not be fair and impartial.
In response, Khaleda Zia said, “The BNP believes in the democracy. So, it won’t take part in any election under Sheikh Hasina. BNP wants free and fair election, which is impossible under Sheikh Hasina. In case of need, we will take part in election under the supervision of the United Nations.”
Some councillors and the grassroots leaders took part in the open discussion before concluding speech of the BNP chief.
