Bangladesh Nationalist Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday urged the interim government to hold a fair election after necessary reforms at the earliest possible time.
While addressing as the chief guest a discussion held marking the 8th death anniversary of former BNP leader ASM Hannan Shah, he also said that though Sheikh Hasina fled the country but she continued conspiring against the country after her fall.
Hannan Shah Smrity Sangshad organised the discussion at Kapashia Pilot High School in Gazipur.
He said that the Awami League politicised all the institutions over the years to permanently hold power.
鈥楻eform all administration for holding a free fair election immediately. If the BNP comes to power, we will restore the caretaker government system for fair election,鈥� he said.
He observed that the reform would certainly take time but it could be an unlimited time.
鈥楾he sooner the election can be held the better for the country,鈥� he said.
He further said that the people of the country wanted an elected government to run the country and the interim government also recognised the same. Therefore, the interim government should reform everything to hold a fair election immediately.
He said that acting BNP chairman Tarique Rahman, who is currently staying in London, and many other leaders and supporters of the party were accused in many cases and demanded withdrawal of the politically motivated cases.
In the past 15 years the Awami League government disappeared 1,000 leaders, killed several thousand and filed cases against thousands of the party鈥檚 activists, he alleged.
He said that BNP earlier proposed reforms and its leaders face harassment for the proposal.
Fakhrul said that Hannan Shah was an honest and dedicated leader devoted to democracy and to the party.
Local leaders of the party among others also spoke the event.
