Resolve CG issue for fair election

Eminent jurist Barrister Rafique-ul Huq yesterday said no free and fair election will be held in the country after two years without resolving the issue of caretaker government (CG).
He made the remark while talking to reporters after delivering a lecture on the life and works of late eminent jurist Barrister Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed at National Museum in the city.
He, however, said over all situation of the country is not deteriorating at all.
“Now the media is very strong. Now, nobody can rig the election as it is captured in media's cemeras. Once the media can continue playing such role the next elections can be held without deploying the army,” Rafique added.
Earlier, he delivered the Barrister Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Memorial Lecture 2011 titled, Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed: The Boundless Sky. Asiatic Society of Bangladesh organised the event attended by noted jurists, academics, friends and well-wishers of Ishtiaq Ahmed.
Barrister Rafique said Ishtiaq Ahmed had always fought for rule of law, democracy and enforcement of fundamental rights.
Former UGC chairman Prof Nazrul Islam presided over the session while Prof Ahmed A Jamal delivered the welcome speech.
