The upcoming national election in Bangladesh will be held on time following the constitution, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said.
"The national election will not be held under a neutral government but under the country's neutral Election Commission," Quader, who is also the road transport and bridges minister, told reporters in Feni on Thursday night.
"The Election Commission of Bangladesh will be in charge of all the ministries during the polls period," he said.
During his interaction with the media, he also raised questions about the leadership of the BNP. "Who is their leader? If the BNP comes to power, who will head the government?”
"The Constitution of Bangladesh is praised throughout the world. So why should the government complain to foreign diplomats for persuading the BNP to contest the election? Anyway, it will be held on time as per the constitution," he added.
