The upcoming election cannot be prevented by the BNP-Jamaat‍‍`s arson movement across the country, Prime Minister‍‍`s Adviser for Private Industries and Investment Salman F. Rahman said on Friday.

"Rather, it will bring the popularity of BNP down to zero," the PM’s adviser said, speaking at a Bir Muktijoddha rally in his constituency Dhaka-1 (Dohar-Nawabganj) on Friday as the chief guest.

“BNP leaders and activists will not be given another chance to create anarchy in the country. Hand over those who are creating violent activities to the police,” he added.

Mentioning that the ultimatum of BNP has proved false, Rahman said they are only causing economic damage to the country by inciting strikes and blockades, while also losing acceptance.

"So don‍‍`t mislead people with these fake ultimatums. People will not believe you anymore. The people of the country have understood that you are not able to run the country," he remarked.

He also said that there is no chance of coming to power by force in this country.

"Leave these destructive activities and check your popularity by joining the election," he urged, adding: “If you can come to power with the people’s mandate, we will congratulate you.”

Salman F Rahman, also one of the country‍‍`s leading businessmen, said the upcoming national elections cannot be thwarted by any violence: "Elections will be held on time as per the constitution under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina."

The Beximco Group vice-chairman said today, Bangladesh has become a role model for development due to the current government’s 15 years of development. He thus urged everyone to vote for "boat,"  the Awami League‍‍`s electoral symbol, in the next general election for the country‍‍`s continued development.
