Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan on Monday said a neutral election-time government is a must alongside a stronger election commission (EC) to ensure a fair and acceptable general election.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe national election won\u2019t be neutral and acceptable only by forming a stronger election commission. An election-time neutral administration is also crucial for it,\u201d he said, reports news agency UNB.<\/p>\n
The BNP standing committee member came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion at Shishu Kalyan Parishad auditorium in the city arranged by Labour party, a component of the BNP-led 20-party alliance.<\/p>\n
Nazrul said their party will place a proposal on the framework of an election-time government after the formation of the EC. \u201cWe believe an impartial election is not possible without a neutral government.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saying that the BNP wants a free and fair election to be held, he appreciated the president for holding talks with some political parties on the formation of a stronger, neutral and independent EC.<\/p>\n
During their party delegation\u2019s meeting with president Abdul Hamid, Nazrul said they talked based on their chairperson\u2019s proposal on the EC reconstitution.<\/p>\n
He said their party will accept if any party gives better proposals than their chairperson\u2019s to form a stronger commission. \u201cBNP never says it won\u2019t accept any better proposal than the party\u2019s one.\u201d<\/p>\n
The BNP leader said though Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) election was apparently fair, people have some questions and confusion about it, and the election commission should take steps to remove those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
