Sunday, 29 June 2008
The BNP-led four-party alliance is reviewing the latest political developments as it sits for a crucial meeting today (Sunday) to discuss issues tied to local government polls slated for August 4, reports UNB.
Amid rival Awami League's latest decision endorsing the elections to four city corporations and nine municipalities, the alliance leaders told UNB that they would take a decision on the basis of the reality on the ground.
Jamaat secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid told the news agency by phone: "The government is working beyond its mandate (to hold national polls) but still we will take a decision by giving a serious thought to the issue."
BNP's Standing Committee member RA Gani would not disclose what was going on inside the alliance regarding the local body polls but said: "We have to take a decision taking all possible aspects into account."
The meeting will be held at the house of Jatiya Party (Manzur) chairman Andalib Rahman at 3:00 pm.
The alliance will hold another meeting tomorrow (Monday) at the Institution of Diploma Engineers in the city to protest against soaring prices of daily commodities and recent hikes in fertiliser prices.
