The BNP Senior Joint Secretary General furthered that there is no point of raising questions about Tarique’s participation

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman can take part in the election process.

He spoke at a press conference at the party’s Naya Paltan office on Sunday.

“BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman can participate in the election process until the Supreme Court reaches a decision regarding the matter. Until that, there is no point of raising questions about his participation,” he said.

“Why the fear about BNP’s acting chairman?” Rizvi raised as a question to opposing parties.

The BNP leader also alleged that the government is going to aim for a one-sided election using the administration.

Earlier, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader urged the Election Commission to look into the matter of whether a fugitive convict can take part in the election process.
