BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury on Friday alleged that the interim government echoes the rhetoric of ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina when they talk about elections and reforms.
Speaking at an iftar gathering organized in honour of journalists at a club in Chittagong city, he demanded the restoration of voting rights and the announcement of an election date without delay.
“The only way to ensure the people’s freedom is through a fair election, but under the guise of reforms, the process is being prolonged,” Khasru said.
He said that previous authoritarian governments deprived people of fair elections by promoting the narratives of development and the current government is following the same path.
