Those opposing the election will lose votes: Salahuddin’s comments

Saying that the discussion on the lower house PR was not held at the National Consensus Commission, BNP standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed said that the discussion on the field will be answered on the field. And whoever speaks against the election will be minus from the political field. He said these things to the media at his residence in Gulshan in the capital on Tuesday (August 26). There is no doubt that the election will be held in February. However, two or three parties are trying to confuse; this could be their strategy. BNP expects to hold a fair election while maintaining national unity against fascism, and this election will be a historic event in political history, he said. Stating that the demand for PR or the Constituent Assembly is a political strategy, the BNP leader said that these statements are to heat up the field, the election mood is prevailing in the country, whoever speaks against it will be minus. Salahuddin said, BNP considers some of the commitments in the July Charter to be unreasonable. The consensus commission will be given time to discuss alternative proposals. Any issue that is above the constitution will not be acceptable. He expects the political parties to reach a position through discussions. The constitutional reforms that we want to bring for reform are possible on the basis of consensus. If the provisions are enforced today, some issues may be contradictory and the provisions can be implemented after the parliamentary elections, he said. He said, BNP does not want any complications with the elections under the interim government. This government has been formed with everyone’s consensus; it can be effective in the next election after the caretaker issue is reinstated. The expectation is that the elections will be held within the time announced by this government, there is no room for thinking otherwise. Salahuddin Ahmed said, if any party does not participate in the elections, it is their political freedom. Those who boycott using excuses will themselves become minuses from future politics. There is no chance of an alliance before the elections; with Jamaat. However, there may be an alliance with those who were in the simultaneous movement, and they may also be in the next government. In addition, discussions are underway with some Islamic parties to form an alliance with them, but that is not final. Apart from this, there may also be an alliance with those who were in the past movement, after discussions.
