Speaker Jamir Uddin Sircar Wednesday said all should remain cautious about any conspiracy against the next general election, reports UNB.
Welcoming the announcement of the election date by Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed, he said despite the announcement that election would be held on December 18 all would have to be watchful so that conspirators could not succeed in any way to foil the much-awaited election.
"There must be an election on December 18. Nationalist force will come to power if the election is free and fair," Sircar told a discussion organised by Swadhinata Forum at the National Press Club.
He said the nationalist force would not accept any deviation from the planned election.
"We hear uproar from certain quarters. But people are not that easygoing, they'll foil any move that can hamper the nation's independence," the Speaker said, adding that Ayub Khan and HM Ershad all had failed in this land.
"If you think, you will handpick some identified people (in the name of election), you must be living in a fool's paradise," he said.
Bangladesh Jatiya Party (Matin) chairman MA Matin, Jatiya Ganatantrik Party chairman Shafiul Alam Prodhan, National People's Party president Sheikh Shawkat Hossain Nilu, Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general Abdul Kader Mollah, Moniruzzaman Mian, Mahbubullah and Jubo Dol president Barkatullah Bulu also spoke on the occasion.
Swadhinata Forum president Abu Naser Mohammad Rahmat Ullah presided over the discussion.
