The BNP has asked the government to place the ‘non-partisan caretaker bill’ in the upcoming Parliament session in order to avert ‘any possible conflict’ in Bangladesh.
“Why the government is scared to stage the election under a non-partisan government if it has really carried out numerous developments in the last four-and-a-half years,” Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque told a discussion on Friday.
“I’d like to tell the Prime Minister to hand over the power to a neutral person for the election if you considered yourself popular,” he said.
He does not see any way out of the current political crisis without restoration of the caretaker provision, for which his party has been demonstrating since it was annulled in June 2011 through the 15th Constitutional Amendment.
Addressing the government, he said: “You still have time, leave the path of conflict and come to a compromise.”
President Abdul Hamid has convened the 12th session of the ninth Parliament on Sep 12.
