Reaffirming that the next general election will be held in January, Finance Minister AMA Muhith on Friday said all arrangements have already been made so that voters can exercise their franchise freely.
“The election will be held in January. It’ll be free, fair and neutral,” he said while addressing a rally at Baishtila under Khadimnagar union in Sadar upazila in the afternoon.
Muhith said Awami League wants to continue the trend of overall economic progress achieved during the tenure of the present government, and alleged that BNP-Jamaat wants to destroy the achievements.
Claiming that Jamaat-Shibir never accepted the existence of the country, he said, “They don’t want country’s peace and welfare. They’re always out to destroy the country. Our struggle is against them, the next general election is against them.”
The minister said the present government strictly uprooted militancy from the country during its tenure. “As a result, people can move freely and with ease and the country is heading towards development and progress.”
He also urged country’s people to remain alert so that militant parties could not make a fresh comeback through the next election.
