Holding polls will not be so easy: BNP

Staff Reporter :
BNP on Saturday said that it will not be so easy to hold the next general election by just announcing a schedule.

“An Election Comm-issioner has said this (Saturday) morning that the election will be held in the first week of January and they’ve started working on it.

Whose election is it? They think people are stupid.

It’s not that easy to hold the election only by announcing a schedule,” BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said it at a programme on Saturday.

Ganatantra Forum arranged the programme titled ‘Justice, Democracy and Human Rights in the Current Context’ at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity (DRU).

“The government are using all (state apparatus) to implement their project of stealing votes by keeping people out of the electoral process.

But it won’t happen since the people have decided not to retreat this time.

After the liberation war, they have now been in the biggest struggle and their victory is certain,” Khosru said.

The BNP leader said lakhs of people of the country have taken to the streets to get back their voting rights and all democratic, political and constitutional rights.
