BNP yesterday warned that there will be no election in the country if its chairperson Khaleda Zia is sent to jail by convicting her in 'false' cases, reports UNB.
“We would like to clearly say if Khaleda Zia is sent to jail by punishing her in false cases, no election will be held in the country. No patriot people will take part in such polls," said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
The BNP leader came up with the warning while speaking at a discussion at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU) arranged by National People's Party (NPP).
sHe, however, said their party wants to take part in the election, but it has to be held after creating a level-playing field. aThe election must be inclusive and acceptable to all.
Fakhrul alleged that Awami League has set a trap to hold a farcical election. “If the election is held as per their blueprint, it won't be fair, and people's hopes and aspirations won't be reflected on such polls."
The BNP secretary general called upon the people of all walks of life, irrespective of their party affiliation and opinion, to get united to force the government holding the next parliamentary polls in a credible manner under a neutral administration.
