BNP national council in July likely

BNP is set to hold a national council by July 25, in line with electoral laws, said a senior party leader Saturday, reports bdnews24.com.
"We will hold a national council after forming committees through elections at all party levels," BNP joint secretary Nazrul Islam Khan told a briefing at Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
"The standing committee will decide on the date, within July 25, in line with the newly amended Representation of the People Order (RPO), and keeping in mind the conditions of the Election Commission (EC), " he said.
"However, I consider the obligation undemocratic. The commission should not play a role as regulator of political parties, it should assist parties," Nazrul said.
It will be a very hard task for the party to hold the council by the given date, he said.
