The ruling Awami League-led alliance has rejected the Jatiya Oikya Front’s demand to push back the announcement date of the election schedule
“We have accepted some of their demands but a few others appeared to be excuses for postponing the election,” said AL general secretary Obaidul Quader to the media after Wednesday talks, adding: “If we postpone the polls, we fear that an unelected force may occupy state power like that in 2007-08.”
Jatiya Oikya Front has placed a demand to form a 10-member polls time government which will not be met as it will be a violation of the constitution, he added.
“The prime minister assured the Oikya Front of creating a fair election environment.”
Quader also said that parliament members and ministers will not receive any government facilities after the announcement of the polls schedule.
