Secretary general of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) Abdul Mannan on Sunday night warned that any farcical polls will be resisted at any cost and urged the Prime Minister to shun the move to hold a unilateral election.“One-party rule will only pierce the country and put its democracy in jeopardy,” he said urging the Prime Minister to arrange an inclusive election through discussions with all political parties.
The BDB leader came up with the remarks after a meeting between a BDB delegation and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan office.
BDB joint secretary general Mahi B Chowdhury also attended the 40-minute meeting that started at 8:40pm.
Mahi B Chowdhury also warned that BDB will launch tough action programmes in addition to the 18-party’s ones to resist any farcical and lopsided election. “We’ll be there in the field with people to resist any one-sided election,” he said. – UNB
