Awami League (AL) Presidium Member and former state minister Advocate Jahangir Kabir Nanak on Friday said the elections in the country will not be held under the control of the government.
“The elections will be conducted under control of the independent Election Commission. Why is BNP so reluctant to take part in the elections under control of the impartial Election Commission? If so, are they involved in a deep conspiracy?” he asked, reports BSS.
Nanak said Jatiya Party is playing the role of the responsible opposition party in the Jatiya Sangsad.
“If Jatiya Party decides to take part in the elections in all 300 parliamentary constituencies, we welcome them. Jatiya Party is not a part of the Grand Alliance and is not with us,” he said.
Nanak said this while talking to journalists after laying the foundation stone of Nasim Khan Mother and Child Hospital at Muslimpara area of the capital marking the 17th death anniversary of the chief patron of Stranded Pakistani General Repatriation Committee (SPGRC) leader late Alhaj Nasim Khan.
Earlier, Nanak visited the grave of Nasim Khan, the chief patron of SPGRC-Bangladesh, an organization of Urdu-speaking people living in Bangladesh, at Muslimpara Railway Graveyard, paid tribute to Nasim Khan by placing wreaths and offered Fateha there.
