BNP will give interim govt time to create fair polls environment

BNP will give the Dr Muhammad Yunus-led interim government the necessary time for creating a good atmosphere in a bid to hold a national election in the country.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said this while talking to journalists after a meeting with the Chief Adviser at the State Guest House, Jamuna, in the capital on Monday.

The BNP Secretary General, however, said they did not discuss the issue of the election at the meeting.

This is the first formal meeting between the head of the interim government and BNP leaders since the government’s formation on August 8.

BNP standing committee members Khandker Mosharref Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Nazrul Islam Khan, Salahuddin Ahmed, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Selima Rahman and Jamiruddin Sircar were also present.
