BNP should join election with int'l mediation, says Hafizuddin

Amidst speculations that he may quit BNP, party Vice-chairman Maj (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed has said BNP must participate in the next national election with the mediation of the international community, reports UNB.
He, however, said he is still observing the political situation and he will go abroad for treatment as he is sick.
"BNP should go to polls with the mediation of the international community. If the BNP joins the polls, I will participate in that election," Hafiz told the journalists on Tuesday.
As his attention was drawn to the ruling party leaders' comment that he is going to join a new party, the BNP leader declined to make any comment on it.
"I only can say that I am observing the political situation...I am physically ill. I am not thinking about politics at this moment," he said,
Hafiz, a 79-year-old military officer turned politician, received treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) two months back for his various health complications.
