Staff Reporter

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called on the interim government led by Dr. Yunus to create a level playing field for elections within a short time. “All our struggles have been for elections. That’s why BNP is emphasizing elections,” he said. “It’s unacceptable for this government to remain in power indefinitely without any public representation. BNP aims to restore democracy in the country.”

He made these remarks on Saturday afternoon at an event distributing Eid gifts to the underprivileged in the Berait area of Dhaka’s 100 Feet.

Mirza Fakhrul warned against domestic and international conspiracies, stating, “No plot will be allowed to succeed. If anyone from France, London, or America attempts to incite the people, it will be thwarted. Instability in the country will not be tolerated.”

The BNP leader asserted, “BNP is not aligned with India, Pakistan, America, or England. BNP stands solely with Bangladesh.” Pointing towards elections, he said, “BNP has always brought about change and reform. It abolished one-party rule and established multiparty democracy. BNP also introduced the caretaker government system. Therefore, elections must be held as soon as possible. Without elections, democracy cannot return to the country.”
