BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said that the people will not accept the excuse of delaying the elections. Even though the interim government's term has passed 6 months, they are not announcing a specific date for the national elections. Long delays in the name of reforms are not desirable under any circumstances.
Nazrul Islam Khan said these words while speaking as the chief guest at a prayer and iftar mahfil organized by Bhashani Anusari Parishad on Sunday. The event was organized at a hotel in Shantinagar in the capital.
In his speech at the event, Bhashani Anusari Parishad convener and freedom fighter Sheikh Rafiqul Islam said, "The current law and order situation in the country is worrisome. There is no way to overcome such a situation without an elected government." He demanded the immediate announcement of the election date.
