The Bangladesh Nationalist Party is set to meet chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday to discuss the prevailing political situation, a roadmap for the forthcoming national election, and to present the party鈥檚 position on reform proposals put forward by various reform commissions.
A seven-member delegation, led by BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, will attend the meeting, which is scheduled to be held at the state guest house Jamuna in Dhaka at around 12:00 noon.
On Tuesday night, the BNP held a meeting of its standing committee at the party chairperson鈥檚 office in the capital鈥檚 Gulshan area, where it finalised the delegation and the agenda for the talks.
The meeting was presided over by the party鈥檚 acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
The delegation includes BNP standing committee members Zamir Uddin Sirkar, Mirza Abbas, Nazrul Islam Khan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Salahuddin Ahmed, and Hafiz Uddin Ahmed.
One of the BNP standing committee members told 抖阴精品 after the meeting that the party would present its position on elections and reforms in writing to the chief adviser during Wednesday鈥檚 discussions.
鈥楨arlier, the chief adviser said that the elections would be held in December. We will remind him of this commitment. We want him to be specific about the election roadmap,鈥� the BNP leader said.
Another standing committee member said that the seven-member delegation was initially scheduled to meet the chief adviser, but Hafiz Uddin Ahmed has since been admitted to the Combined Military Hospital for treatment.
The BNP leader said that he would join the meeting in case of improvement in his health condition.
Recently, BNP standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed told 抖阴精品 that the party would demand a clear roadmap for the national election to be announced before December so that the chief adviser could present it to the nation and help dispel the prevailing uncertainty.聽
This will create conditions for political stability and allow business activities to gather momentum, he said.
He said that the chief adviser had earlier said that the government was working to hold the election in December, but confusion had been created by statements from various organisations and individuals on different issues.
鈥榃e will call on him to clear it up,鈥� Salahuddin said.
Another BNP standing committee member said that the party wanted assurance that the national election would be held in the country, as democracy was the foundation of all reforms.
鈥榃e want to gain confidence from the government that elections will take place, regardless of whether the timeline is advanced or delayed by two months,鈥� he said.
