“The Awami League general secretary has started roaming around as they are in danger (over the next polls). Even, he visited the homes of some politicians,” he said.

Mosharraf, a BNP standing committee member, came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion arranged by Jatiyatabadi Nagorik Dal.

Obaidul Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, recently visited the office of Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) and had a meeting with Krishak Sramik Janata League president Kader Siddiqui and ex-BNP leader barrister Nazmul Huda.

The ruling party general secretary also hinted about talking to BNP secretary general over phone to discuss the election issue instead of holding any formal dialogue.
      
Reacting to Quader’s remark, Mosharraf said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will tell the AL leader about holding the election under a non-party neutral administration, dissolving parliament and deploying army if he phones or holds a meeting with him. “He (Fakhrul) has nothing to say about these issues, even if you (Quader) meet our secretary general at his home.”

Besides, the BNP leader said their party chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release from jail and BNP’s participation in the election are interlinked.

He also warned that people will not accept any election in the country without the participation of the BNP chairperson.

About three city polls scheduled to be held on Monday, Mosharraf said the government is set to hold the elections to Rajshahi, Sylhet and Barishal applying the Gazipur and Khulna-election model to ensure the victory of the ruling party candidates.
