No caretaker, no polls: BNP
BNP standing committee member Tariqul Islam yesterday said the opposition parties will not let Awami League fulfill its dream of holding parliamentary elections under the present administration.
“AL is daydreaming to stay in power, holding an election under their own government. But the dream will not come true”, he said while addressing a human chain in front of the city's Jatiya Press Club.
The BNP chairperson on September 27 declared that no election will be held without caretaker government while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said the opposition must take part in election.
The caretaker government system was abolished by the 15the amendment to the constitution this June. The BNP-led opposition parties said they will not participate in the national election under a political government. The party may give its formal reaction today on the prime minister's Saturday remarks.
