Election only under neutral administration: BNP

BNP's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today said their party will not allow any national election in Bangladesh without a caretaker government.

"Our position is clear no election will be held in this country without a polls-time neutral caretaker government," he said.

"An impartial election commission will have to be constituted and then we'll form a representative government and parliament through a credible election."

Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal arranged the programme at the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh, marking its 43rd founding anniversary.

Fakhrul said their party wants a change in the government and the youth can bring this change through a movement by organising people.

Stating that BNP leaders and activists are being harassed by filing 'false' cases against them, Fakhrul said, "We must get united and wage a strong movement to overcome the current situation."
