BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Sunday formally turned down the prime minister’s small cabinet proposal saying the offer was given to ensure Sheikh Hasina’s return to power.
“We don’t accept the proposal…the prime minister made the offer so that she can remain in power and ensure the return of her party to power. We reject the proposal,” she said.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a recent interview with the BBC Bangla Service proposed an interim government with the opposition to oversee the next general elections.
The opposition leader was addressing an Iftar party hosted by Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) at the National Press Club.
In her brief address prior to Iftar, Khaleda once again demanded that the next election be held under a non-party caretaker government.
“No election will be allowed to be held under any party government. We want the next election under a non-party administration. The government will have to amend the constitution to reinstate the caretaker government.”
Threatening that the opposition’s movement will continue until the CG is restored, the former premier said they will establish a democratic government and the rule of law in the country unseating the present government through a strong movement.
