Never said elections must be held before reforms: Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, “We never said that elections must be held before reforms. If someone says this, then it is being misinterpreted. The people are being made confused. We emphasized only on the essential election-centric reforms.”

The BNP leader made the remarks while exchanging Eid greetings with party activists at his residence at Thakurgaon town on Wednesday (April 2) noon.

He said, “BNP will not support those ignoring people’s opinions. We will support whatever the people want.”

Alleging that propaganda is being spread about BNP’s stance on reforms, Mirza Fakhrul said, “A campaign is being carried out across the country that BNP wants elections first. This is a complete lie. We are the promoters of reforms, we are the ones who have sought reforms.”
