Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the next general elections will be held in a free, fair and peaceful manner as the February 15-like polls will not be allowed in the country in any way.
"Elections will be held in this country the way polls are being held in other countries of the world."
Quader said while speaking at the triennial council of Dinajpur Zilla Awami League at Gor-E-Shahid Baro Maidan in Dinajpur on Monday as the chief guest.

He also urged transport owners and workers not to call a transport strike before and after the BNP's rally to be held in Dhaka in December next.
