BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Wednesday alleged that efforts are underway to delay the upcoming national election, suggesting that certain individuals both within and outside the interim government may have a hidden agenda linked to the reform process, reports UNB.
"It seems that dilly-dally over holding the next national election has already started or is underway. The future of the election has gotten trapped in a cycle of innovative conditions of so-called minimum reform and maximum reforms," he said.
The BNP acting chairman said this while addressing a mammoth youth rally in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office in the capital through a virtual platform in the afternoon.
He said people have begun to believe that certain individuals, both within and outside the interim government, may have a hidden agenda behind the facade of stalling for time in the name of reform.
Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, Swecchasebak Dal and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) jointly arranged the function presided over by Jubo Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna.
Tens of thousands of people joined the rally arranged for youths from Dhaka, Mymensingh, Sylhet and Faridpur divisions, commemorating the martyrdom month of BNP founder and late president Ziaur Rahman.
BNP standing committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, Abdul Moyeen Khan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and Salahuddin Ahmed, Swechasebak Dal President SM Jilani and JCD President Rakibul Islam Rakib spoke at the rally.
