Asian Age: BNP on Saturday warned the government that it will be held responsible for the emergence of any ‘disorder’ if the next general election schedule is announced without any discussion with political parties.
“We would like to clearly say that a proper atmosphere must be created and all justified demands must be met. The election schedule will have to be announced after resolving the problems through talks,” said BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan.
Speaking at a discussion, he further said, “Otherwise, the government will have to shoulder the responsibility if any disorder is created in the country.”
Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal, the BNP’s labour wing, arranged the programme demanding party chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release from jail.
Nazrul, a BNP standing committee member, said the participation of opposition parties under the leadership of Khaleda Zia is necessary for credible polls.
He said their party will surely join the election if a level-playing field is created, Khaleda Zia is released and the election is held under a non-party administration with the deployment of army.
The BNP leader warned the government that it will not be able to hold the next general election in the same style of 2014.
