Anarchic situation feared if no immediate polls held

BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed on Monday voiced apprehension that an anarchic situation may create in the country if a fresh election is not held immediately. “A political vacuum is now prevailing in the country. From my political experience, I can say this situation is in no way good for the country,” he told a discussion meeting. He further said, “The government must take steps for a fair national election as soon as possible to overcome the current crisis. Otherwise, incidents like that of Narayanganj and Feni may recur. An anarchic situation is likely to be created, and the government may not have any control on the law and order.” Jatiyatabadi Samajik Sangstha (Jasas) arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club marking the 115th birth anniversary of national poet Nazrul Islam, according to a news agency.
