No unconstitutional handover 
of power will be allowed: Nasim

Awami League presidium member and Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammad Nasim yesterday said unconstitutional handover of power would never be allowed in the country, reports BSS. “If we have faults, then there is election. It’s natural that the change in government is done through election. But, we won’t allow in anyway change of government through unconstitutional means. Question doesn’t arise in this regard,” he said. Mohammad Nasim said this while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion in the city. Bangladesh Insurance Forum (BIF) organised the discussion at the auditorium of the Institution of Diploma Engineers at Kakrail in the capital in observance of the 46th Independence and National Day. BIF president and managing director of Popular Life Insurance BM Yusuf Ali chaired the discussion, also addressed, among others, by chairman of the development and regulatory authority of insurance M Shefaq Ahmed, chairman of Padma Life Insurance ABM Zafarullah and BIF secretary Fazlul Haque Khan. Mohammad Nasim said, “In accordance with the constitution, the polls to the Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament) will be held under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2019. None has got the authority to hold polls by violating the constitution, not even Sheikh Hasina and it’s a reality.” The senior Awami League leader said, “BNP won’t be able to go for movement any more as it has no organisational strength to launch any movement. Without involvement of people, no movement comes to a success.” In reply to Khaleda Zia’s recent remarks that the next polls will be held without Sheikh Hasina, he said, “Begum Zia please go through what is written in the constitution. Inshallah! the national polls will be held in Bangladesh under the party in power in accordance with the elections held in Britain, India and many countries in Europe and that the polls will be held in 2019.”
