BNP won’t accept EC if formed to fulfill AL desire: Fakhrul
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today alleged that the ruling Awami League is “drawing a design” to stay in power by appointing a “subservient” Election Commission.
“We will not accept the new Election Cmmission if it is formed to fulfill Awami League’s desire,” Fakhrul said while addressing a programme at the party’s Naya Paltan central office, marking the second death anniversary of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s younger son Arafat Rahman Koko.
Koko died of cardiac arrest at the age of 45 at his rented house in Malaysia on January 24, 2015. BNP and its associate bodies took various programmes to mark the day.
Fakhrul said Awami League will not be able to stay in power if a free and fair election is held in the country.
He said that there was a belief among people that the President Abdul Hamid would constitute a credible EC as he (Hamid) has talked to the political parties.
“But Awami League leaders are making controversial remarks on formation of the Election Commission process,” he said.
He also said the government has established “a reign of terror” across the country by resorting “acts of repression, killing and enforced disappearance to hang onto power illegally”.
Fakhrul urged his party men to get organised to remove the current ‘undemocratic and evil force’ from power.
Later, a munajat was offered seeking the eternal peace of Koko’s departed soul.
