Jatiya Party, a key ally of the ruling Awami League, Saturday said the Prime Minister’s call for an all-party government lacked specifications.
In the party’s official statement, Secretary General Ruhul Amin Hawaladar said: “She [Sheikh Hasina] did not specify who the leader of the cabinet would be.”
He added that the speech did not clear matters on whether the parliament will be active during elections or how a level-playing field would be ensured at the polls.
The statement is available at Jatiya Party’s official website.
It said that the statement followed a presidium member-level meeting headed by Jatiya Party Chairman Hussein Muhammad Ershad.
Earlier on Friday night, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called for a cabinet including members from all parties to oversee the next upcoming elections.
The general elections are expected to be held between October 25 and January24 next year.
