The Bangladesh Nationalist Party standing committee member, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, on Friday reiterated that his party would not take part in elections if the immediate-past chief justice, ABM Khairul Haque, was made the chief adviser to the next caretaker government.
Mosharraf, also a former minister, also said the BNP would not accept if the caretaker government system was revoked through a constitutional amendment.
The BNP leader was addressing a human chain programme in front of the National Press Club organised in protest at the 'threats' to opposition chief whip Zainul Abdin Farroque.
Mosharraf alleged that conspiracies were on to hold the next general elections under a partisan government by cancelling the caretaker government system and said the opposition would not accept retired chief justice ABM Khairul Haque as head of the next caretaker government.
He also alleged that the Awami League-led coalition government had failed to ease the people's sufferings in the last two and a half years.
'Prices of commodities have gone out of the people's buying capacity. There is no law and order and human rights are grossly violated,' he said.
Jatiyatabadi Swechchhasebak Dal, the BNP's volunteers' front, brought out a procession from in front of the party central office at Naya Paltan in protest against the government's 'move' to implicate Tarique Rahman in the August 21 grenade attack case and the 10-truck arms haul case.
Addressing a pre-procession rally, the opposition chief whip, Zainul Abdin Farroque, said the BNP would return to parliament if its demand for mid-term polls was accepted.
On the constitution review, Farroque said the BNP would not accept any changes to the charter without their consent.
Farroque warned that the AL-led government would be unseated if it dropped Bismillah from the constitution and restored secularism.
