BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday urged the government to arrange the national election soon to thwart Sheikh Hasina’s “dangerous plan”.
“Sheikh Hasina is lurking with a dangerous plan. The national election must be held soon to thwart this conspiracy," he said.
Rizvi said this after paying tribute to BNP founder Ziaur Rahman by placing a wreath at his grave along with party leaders and activists from various districts.
Claiming that the Yunus government is delaying the election, he said the nation is eagerly waiting for a free, fair, and neutral election.
BNP’s Rizvi fears for the future of centrist politics
The BNP leader said the demand for holding local government elections before the national election is an ill-motive behaviour from several political parties.
He said the government must be given a final deadline for elections to restore democracy for which so many lives were lost.
Rizvi said the necessary reforms should be completed quickly before the election.
