Lifting of state of emergency depends on politicians

Law Adviser Mainul Hosein has said lifting of emergency depends on the behaviour of politicians.
He made the observation responding to reporters' query about the Chief Election Commissioner's suggestion that the emergency should be relaxed in areas where local body elections are scheduled from next January.
Mainul was talking to reporters at the secretariat yesterday noon.
"It is the responsibility of the government to implement the Election Commissioner's proposal," the adviser said, adding that the emergency was imposed due to the politicians who created crises.
Mainul said, "We too want lifting of the emergency but it depends on the politicians' behaviour as to when it will be withdrawn.”
