Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tells ALPP meet JS polls by Jan 25 next year


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the last workday of the ninth parliament would be October 25 and the next general election would be held by January 25 next year under an interim government formed with elected representatives from parliament.
Addressing a meeting of the Awami League Parliamentary Party (ALPP) at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, Hasina said the national polls would be held in line with the constitutional framework, meeting sources quoted her as saying.
Sources added that Hasina hoped all political parties would take part in the general election.
Sheikh Hasina, who is Awami League president, directed all her party lawmakers to take full preparations for the forthcoming polls and highlight the developments brought about in their constituencies.
She also asked them to make people aware about the BNP,
Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefajat-e Islam’s violence, added the sources.
She said nominations would be given on the basis of recommendations of the party grassroots.
The prime minister also instructed party lawmakers not to deliver aggressive speeches in parliament, for that might lead to a walkout by the BNP lawmakers, an MP requesting anonymity.
