BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan has said that no more justification will be accepted to defer elections in the name of justice and reform as the party’s main demand in the current political context is to ensure people’s right to vote through a free and fair election.
“BNP will no longer accept the logic of ‘first justice and reform, then elections’,” he said.
He made the remarks as the chief guest at a form distribution event for BNP’s new member recruitment and renewal campaign held at Bhubonmohon Park in Rajshahi city at around 11:30am on Saturday.
“Justice and reform are continuous processes. The primary responsibility of an interim government is to reestablish democracy. To achieve that, power must be returned to the people as soon as possible through elections,” he said.
Addressing BNP leaders and activists, he added: “We all must remain cautious not to act like the leaders and activists of the Awami League. Our conduct must reflect democracy and restraint.”
Dr Moyeen Khan formally inaugurated the distribution of forms for renewing old memberships and recruiting new members.
