‘Plot on to pull BNP in election under ruling party’

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir

Senior Correspondent: A very deep conspiracy is underway to ensure participation of BNP in the election under ruling Awami League, alleged BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

The BNP leader came up with the allegation while addressing a discussion at Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) in the capital, marking imprisonment day of BNP senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman on Monday noon.

Fakhrul said the government wants to hold a farcical election like the one held on January 5, 2014, but it will not be easy for them to hold such an election this time.

He said, “A very deep conspiracy is underway to ensure participation of BNP in the election under ruling Awami League. The election is not the main issue for BNP. The party wants to ensure a democratic state system in the country. The way the election was held on January 5, 2014 can never be considered as a type of election.”

Pointing at the representation of the people order (RPO) of the Election Commission (EC), the BNP leader said a law that does not benefit people can never be considered as a law.

The discussion was jointly organised by Bangladesh Chhatra Forum and Uttaranchal Chhatra Forum.

With Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) Chairman barrister Andalib Rahman in the chair, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, other BNP leaders-- Showkat Mahmud, Dr Mamun Ahmed, Ruhul Kuddus Talukdar Dulu, Bilkis Jahan Shirin, Barrister Kaiser Kamal spoke on the occasion.
