BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday described as a new ‘drama’ the Election Commission’s (EC’s) talks with a cross-section of citizens to prepare its roadmap. "The Election Commission has started staging a new drama by initiating talks with the people of different professions,” he said. Speaking at a rally, the BNP leader said only 12, out of 30, invited university teachers joined the first day of the EC dialogue.  Read:Ministers 'joking' with people about price hike: BNP “A teacher from Chittagong University there said why are you (EC) staging the farce? The election will never be free and fair if there's no neutral government during the election period. It's a remark of a teacher, not mine,” Fakhrul said. He said those who have prudence and love for the country understand it very well that a people's government is now badly needed in Bangladesh. “For establishing such a government, a polls-time neutral administration is necessary for holding an impartial election. It won’t be possible under Awami League.”
