The BNP has threatened to thwart the approaching general elections if the nonpartisan caretaker government provision is not reinstated in the Constitution through an amendment.Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir sounded the warning at a discussion on Thursday evening, hours after Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury announced the elections would be organised any time between Oct 25 this year and Jan 24 next as per the Constitution.
Fakhrul said, “We have made it clear to the government that no elections will take place under the incumbent government and its puppet Election Commission. No elections will be allowed with a non-party caretaker government overseeing it.”
The BNP leader asked the leaders and activists to prepare for a movement to push the government to meet its demand for reinstating the caretaker government. – bdnews24.com
