BNP leader Nazmul Huda on Thursday proposed an interim administration made up of representatives from both the government and the opposition to oversee the next general election.
“The government is saying about an interim government. It can be formed comprising the government and the opposition. But, the home and defence ministries must be under the opposition leader,” he said in his new formula.
He unveiled the recipe while addressing a discussion titled “Spirit of Shaheed Zia and a credible election system” at the Jatiya Press Club.
Bangladesh Nationalist Front (BNF) organised the meeting to mark the 31st death anniversary of late president Ziaur Rahman, founder of BNP.
The former minister reiterated his appeal to the BNP chairperson for taking an initiative to hold a dialogue to resolve political crisis and asked the government to release all opposition leaders to create an atmosphere congenial to the talks.
Huda, a former member of BNP’s national standing committee, urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and opposition leader Khaleda Zia to sit for a dialogue. “It's possible. Countrymen are eagerly waiting for it,” he added.
Huda, a maverick leader of BNP, on May 23 issued an ultimatum to Khaleda to invite Sheikh to a dialogue by June 5.
He had threatened to quit the party if the ultimatum is not met.
