Stating that people have started suspecting the intentions of the interim government, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday urged it to provide an election roadmap to maintain public confidence.
Speaking at a discussion, he also called on the advisers of the government to refrain from misleading people with their unguarded remarks.
“It’s ultimately not your (advisers’) responsibility to run the country. Organise an election quickly and let the politicians do this job,” the BNP leader said.
He added that their party has already presented a 31-point reform proposal, prepared with other democratic parties, which would be sufficient to ensure a healthy democratic atmosphere in the country.
“We have proposed reforms; from there, you can decide which ones to adopt and which ones to reject, but ultimately, the real task is to hold the elections after reconstituting the Election Commission,” Fakhrul said.
“Present a roadmap and clearly state when you will do what. If you do that, people will have confidence. People want to know the election date and when it will be held,” he said.
The Bangladesh Sammilita Peshajibi Parishad, a platform of pro-BNP professionals, organised the programme at the Jatiya Press Club to mark National Revolution and Solidarity Day, commemorating the "civil-military uprising" of 7 November 1975.
