BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said election under a caretaker government is the most suitable system for a country like Bangladesh, and urged the noted citizens and political parties to raise their voices for its restoration.
Talking to reporters at a press briefing at BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office after a meeting between the liaison committees of BNP and the 12-party alliance, he also claimed that their ongoing simultaneous movement for the ouster of the current regime has gained huge public confidence.
“Eminent citizens at a webinar have said the country’s election system has been destroyed. The electoral system under the caretaker government was the most suitable system for the country,” the BNP leader said.
He said Awami League has pushed the nation into chaos by annulling the caretaker government system. “The country’s people now do not know how the elections will be held and whether they can cast their vote or not.”
He said the previous elections have proved that no credible election can be held under the Awami League government and a partisan administration. “We would have been happier if more noted citizens, political parties, and organizations of the country had really talked about these things. I l urge them to raise their voices for ensuring the election under a caretaker government.”
Fakhrul said the simultaneous movement has got different dimensions with the participation of different political parties. Confidence has definitely been created among the people in the simultaneous movement as many other political parties agreed with our 10-point demand and continued a struggle for the restoration of democracy.”
