The Awami League has opined that Khaleda Zia’s demand over arranging early election under caretaker government system was “irrational and contrary to the constitution.”
Hasan Mahmud, publicity and publication secretary of the Awami League, came up with the reaction while addressing a press conference at Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s political office at Dhanmondi in the capital around 7.45pm on Wednesday.
He said: “Khaleda’s claim that the Awami League breaks its promise of early election is not true. Her demand is irrational as holding early poll under caretaker government system is contrary to the constitution of the country.”
“The next general election will be held on 2019 as per constitution and there is no option for caretaker government or interim government as per constitution.”
The former minister said Khaleda’s remarks on the ruling party were “false and exaggerated.”
