The Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, Shafiqur Rahman, has said the interim government should be given appropriate time to create a level-playing field before it holds the next general election, reports UNB.

"They (interim government) should get reasonable time to repair state institutions like the judiciary and the Election Commission before the election," said the Jamaat chief, adding, "It should neither be too long nor too short."

Shafiqur Rahman was speaking to group of journalists working for the Indian media at party's Moghbazar office in the capital on Tuesday.

Replying to a question, he said the immediate-past government of Awami League destroyed all institutions like the judiciary, the Election Commission, police force and the administration. These need to be fixed first before holding the next national polls, he said.

"Let's all of us have patience about it (election)," he said.
