Saturday, 20 October 2007
Expelled BNP joint secretary-general Ashraf Hossain again claimed themselves as mainstream BNP, saying that in accordance with BNP constitution, the Election Commission (EC) must sit with them for dialogue on electoral reforms, reports UNB.
He made the remark to journalists at his NAM apartment responding to some newspaper reports that the EC has decided to invite BNP's new secretary general Khondoker Delwar Hossain for dialogue.
Ashraf said the government wanted to hold corruption-free elections. The EC cannot talk with those already accused of corruption.
He expressed the hope that the EC would consider all aspects. "If they hold discussion without us, then the declared goal will not be achieved," he said.
Claiming himself as joint secretary general of BNP elected by the party council, Ashraf said, "Suddenly we were expelled from inside the prison. We don't accept it."
