BNP wants search committee thru' talks
BNP yesterday urged the government, along with the ruling Awami League's newly elected body, to immediately hold dialogues with all stakeholders for formation of a search committee which would assemble an “acceptable Election Commission”.
The nation hoped that the new AL committee
will work for restoring democracy, ensuring freedom of expression and basic and voting rights, Senior Joint Secretary General Rizvi Ahmed told a press briefing at BNP's Nayapaltan headquarters in the capital.
“Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at their council said their party will have to return to power at any cost by not allowing BNP to do so. Her remarks give horrible indications over the next election,” he said.
“This comment also exposed that they will play the role of usurpers ignoring public opinion in the next election by holding it under their supervision,” he added.
Rizvi alleged that the AL council's outcome gave nothing to make the nation optimistic about the “restoration” of democracy.
He said people expected that the AL committee would create a democratic environment. “But its new general secretary is following the footsteps of his leader Sheikh Hasina as he said BNP will end up in quicksand,” he said.
