BNP's demand an act of vengeance
Says Amu
Terming BNP's demand for caretaker government system restoration “illogical and undemocratic”, Awami League leader Amir Hossain Amu yesterday said the opposition is making the demand out of vengeance.
“They [BNP] were forced to meet our demand for caretaker government but the present context is totally different. Under the prevailing circumstances, there is no logical ground for restoration of the caretaker government system,” he said at a discussion in the capital.
Marking the 66th birthday of Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote organised the discussion at Shilpakala Academy.
“No one could raise questions about the neutrality of elections held so far under the incumbent government. So there is no need for caretaker government to hold national polls in the country,” said Amu, also the AL advisory council member.
He claimed that people do not support BNP regarding their demand for the caretaker government, as it is “illogical”.
“We repeatedly asked them [BNP] to sit for discussions but they did not pay heed to our calls because their main aim is to create anarchy in the country,” the AL leader said.
Industries Minister Dilip Barua, among others, addressed the discussion.
