BNP’s demand for mid-term polls political stunt: Razzaque

The food and disaster management minister, Abdur Razzaque, has come down heavily on the BNP for demanding mid-term elections, saying it is 'merely a political stunt' of the main opposition to misguide the people.

'They should think that the mid-term election is not a 'puppet show' and it is an unrealistic demand as the government was voted to power by the people for governing the country for five years,' he said while talking to the local journalists at Netrakona Circuit House on Friday.

Instead of joining parliament, he said, the BNP is demanding mid-term general elections outside of the Jatiya Sangsad and misinterpreting the matters relating to the constitutional amendments and appointment of the Supreme Court judges.

Razzaque accused the BNP of hatching conspiracies and trying to raise different non-issues to hinder the government's development activities. 'They are resorting to various machinations to destabilise the government finding no agenda to launch movement,' he said.

The minister refrained from commenting on the war crimes trial, and said the whole process was being conducted as per the International Crimes Act.
