BNP rejects poll-schedule

Staff Reporter :
The main opposition party-BNP- has rejected the election schedule announced by the Election Commission (EC) saying the country is now heading towards certain conflict.

“We are turning down the schedule with utmost hatred. The next election can be held under this government is a complete lie.

We reject this biased Election Commission also,” BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said in a reaction to the schedule at a virtual press conference on Wednesday.

“I want to tell the Election Commission that the country has been pushed towards conflict.

The country is now heading for a certain conflict. Except for AL, for whom has this election schedule been announced?”

The BNP leader said the EC was subservient to the ruling AL.
“They (EC) have been working for the election of Awami League. This EC are the AL officials,” Rizvi said.

He said, “The people were ready to give a befitting reply to this government and its subservient EC.

The ongoing people’s movement against the AL government and the EC will be intensified in the days to come .”

The BNP has been conducting a movement demanding resignation of the incumbent regime and to ensure that the next election is held under a caretaker government.

The BNP leader also said the Chief Election Commissioner has mocked the entire nation by announcing the schedule for holding the next election under the current government.
