The BNP on Sunday asked the government to take party chief Khaleda Zia’s proposals on formation of the next Election Commission (EC) positively.
“We are asking the government to take Khaleda Zia’s proposals on formation of the next EC positively and start dialogue with political parties on the issue,” said Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Secretary General of the BNP.
He was addressing a discussion meeting arranged on the celebration of the 51st birth anniversary of party’s Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman in the auditorium of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the city in the afternoon.
Mirza Fakhurl said, “Some points of our party chief’s proposals may not be liked by the government. Those points can be discussed. But the government should not avoid the proposals. They should start discussions to resolve the current political crises.”
The BNP leader warned that if the government ignores the proposals then they could not stop the people’s anger. He said the foreigners have also praised BNP chief’s proposals which she put forward at a press conference on Friday.
He said the ruling Awami League fears neutral and participatory elections.
“Awami League does not want a participatory polls due to fear of defeat. For the reason, the party has rejected BNP Chairperson’s proposals to form a neutral EC,” Fakhrul said.
The BNP leader said, “Awami League-led government has suppressed the people since they came to power by a voter less election. In this situation, people of the country are in anger on the government. They are waiting to reply to AL by voting against them.”
“Awami League knows that if the upcoming election is free and fair then they must defeat. So, they oppose to form a neutral and stronger EC,” he said.
With Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in the chair, the programme was addressed, among others, by BNP Standing Committee Member Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Barrister Moudud Ahmed, Mirza Abbas and Gayeshwar Chandra Roy.
BNP Senior Joint-General Secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi conducted the programme.
On Saturday night, Begum Khaleda Zia cut cake with party’s senior leaders in celebration of Tarique’s birth anniversary. Party’s front organisations also arranged separate programmes like free medical camp and Doa Mahfil on the occasion.
