Partisan local govt polls an AL conspiracy, alleges BNP

The BNP yesterday accused the ruling Awami League (AL) of hatching a conspiracy to establish a one-party rule in the country through the holding of local government polls on partisan basis.
BNP Standing Committee member Brig Gen (Retd) ASM Hannan Shah made the allegation while addressing a special prayer programme at the Naya Paltan party central office in the capital.  He called upon the government to hold the national election immediately shunning such conspiracies.
Ulema Dal, an associate body of the BNP, organised the programme seeking early recovery of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia. Khaleda is currently in London for medical treatment.  Hannan Shah also claimed that this government does not follow the norms of democracy to allow people casting their votes. “High government functionaries are spreading canards against Khaleda Zia’s London visit,” he added.
