The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Wednesday called on the government to reconstitute the Election Commission in consultation with all the political parties after the incumbent commission served out its tenure.
The BNP will not accept any commission unilaterally formed by the government without consulting the political parties, BNP standing committee member MK Anwar told a human chain organised by Jatiyatabadi Sangskritik Dal in front of the National Press Club.
'If the government does not reconstitute the Election Commission after the present one serves out, the BNP will not accept it,' he said. He also said the incumbent commission should leave office immediately as the opposition lost its trust in it.
He alleged that the government was out to form the next commission with its chosen people to sweep the next general elections.
'Still there is time. Try to understand the meanings of the graffiti and announce elections under a caretaker government,' he urged the government from the human chain organised in demand of reinstating the caretaker government system.
Anwar said people of the country would never accept an election not held under a caretaker government and any such move would be thwarted. He also called on the people to join demonstrations to ensure the government's exit.
BNP leader Ruhul Quddus Talukder, Nagarik Forum president Abu Naser Muhammad Rahmatullah, and Jatiyatabadi Sangnskritik Dal president Humayun Kabir Bepari were also present.
