Dismissing the prime minister's comments in her Ganobhaban press conference on the next election, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said Awami League will not be allowed to form the government again through 'a walkover'.
"They (govt) started saying loudly again that 'we will conduct a free, fair, and impartial election as per the constitution.' The Awami League president said the same thing in her press conference at Ganobhaban," he said, reports UNB.
Speaking at a rally, Fakhrul said the government is trying to deceive people and fool them by uttering falsehoods.
"They (AL) are trying to form the government further in an empty field -what we call a walkover," he observed.
The BNP leader, however, said the government is facing obstacles this time from the democratic countries of the Western world in implementing its 'evil' plans.
"They (Western countries) are saying elections with a walkover will not go on. This time there should be a fair and free participation election," he said.
Fakhrul said their party's stance is clear- that no credible election can be held under Hasina and her government.
A faction of Gono Odhikar Parishad, led by Nurul Haque Nur, arranged the rally at Fakirapool Culvert Road Crossing demanding the restoration of democracy and voting rights.
