BNP demands restoration of CG provision in Constitution

Bangladesh Nationalist Party standing committee member Moudud Ahmed on Tuesday opined for restoration of poll-time non-party neutral caretaker government in the constitution to hold the next general election under it.

He expressed the views while addressing a discussion meeting at Institution of Engineers’, Bangladesh, in the capital organised by the party marking 37th death anniversary of its founder Ziaur Rahman.

Moudud, also a former law minister, said, ‘There is no benefit of demanding poll-time election-supportive government. The government has to include the caretaker government system to the constitution.’

BNP has raised the concept of election-supportive government but they are yet to reveal the framework, he said.

The standing committee member talked about the issues while revealing the party’s three-point agenda to end the present ‘one-party rule’.

Moudud said their first agenda was to free their jailed chairperson Khaleda Zia. ‘No election would be allowed without Khaleda.’

‘Our second agenda is to unite all democratic and patriotic forces, apart from BNP-led alliance, to form national unity and to take preparation for taking the streets,’ he said.

Moudud said, ‘Our third agenda is holding mass movement across the country and forcing government to hold general election under a non-party neutral caretaker government.’

BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir presided over the discussion.
