Join dialogue to appoint CEC
Quader urges BNP
Communication Minister Obaidul Quader yesterday urged the BNP-led opposition to take part in the dialogue scheduled to begin on December 22 with political parties by the president for appointing new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).
“Join the talks without any condition. If you have any demand, you better raise it during the dialogue,” Quader, also Awami League presidium member, said while distributing winter clothes among the poor in the city.
Bangabandhu Chhatra Parishad (BCP) organised the programme in front of the graveyards of three national leaders adjacent to Dhaka University campus with Tareque Raihan in the chair.
Vice Chancellor Prof Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) President H M Badiuzzaman also spoke on the occasion.
Quader said the BNP-Jamaat men created anarchy in the name of agitation to oust the AL-led grand alliance government. “The BNP is trying to capture the state power through different destructive activities but it is, indeed, a day-dream,” he said.
“BNP's intention to oust the elected government is also a threat to the country's democracy.”
He urged the opposition to refrain from the politics of confrontation and join the president's dialogue that would remove barriers toward holding a free, fair and neutral general election.
