AL to gladly accept people's verdict in polls, says Nasim

COX'S BAZAR, Dec 25 (UNB): Mentioning that the next general election will be held as per the Constitution, Awami League (AL) presidium member Mohammad Nasim said on Monday his party will gladly accept people's verdict in the polls.
He came up with the remarks while addressing a programme marking the handover of cheques of the Prime Minister's grants for journalists at the Cox's Bazar Press Club.
Nasim said it has been proved through the Rangpur city polls that fair elections are held during the tenure of Awami League. "However, there's no end to BNP's allegations about such an election," he said urging the party to join the next election instead of running way from the field.
He said the present government has successfully handed all calamities. "It has dealt with the manmade Rohingya crisis strongly as well," he added.
The minister expressed the hope that the Rohingyas will soon be able to return to their own country safely.
He also hailed the sacrifice made by the residents of Cox's Bazar over the Rohingya issue as the district has accommodated the forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals.
Nasim handed over cheques for Tk 50,000 to seven journalists each at the programme presided over by President of Cox's Bazar Union of Journalists Abu Taher Chowdhury.
