The BNP has restated the demand for a non-partisan caretaker government overseeing next general elections and urged the government to sit in talks.
BNP Standing Committee Member MK Anwar also renewed the threat that it will not let any election happen without a non-partisan government in the country.
"What we only want is that the next general elections are held under a non-partisan government. Otherwise, BNP will not take part in it," he told a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club on Friday.
He called on the ruling Awami League to discuss the caretaker issue with the opposition, "You can delete the wording 'caretaker government' if you are allergic to it. We have no objection to that."
"The sooner you (government) discuss it the earlier the people of the country will get relief. The economy will get even better," he said.
He also criticised the Awami League leaders for their remarks on talks over the caretaker issue.
"They speak differently on different days. Some of them talked about discussions, again some said they would not sit in discussions with thieves and robbers."
"We are to believe who?" Anwar asked.
Asked why the BNP was not waging a 'tougher movement' as it had threatened, he replied: "It is because BNP do not want to create any conflict in the country.
"We dont want to fight the war the Awami League declared. If there is any war, it will be between the Awami League and the people."
"And the BNP will be on the people's side," the leader added.
