Interim govt echoing Hasina’s rhetoric: Amir Khosru
Staff Correspondent
BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury on Friday alleged that the interim government echoes the rhetoric of ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina when they talk about elections and reforms.
Speaking at an Iftar gathering organised in honour of journalists at a club in Chattogram city, he demanded the restoration of voting rights and the announcement of an election date without delay.
“The only way to ensure the people’s freedom is through a fair election, but under the guise of reforms, the process is being prolonged,” Khosru said.
He said that previous authoritarian governments deprived people of fair elections by promoting the narratives of development and the current government is following the same path.
Chattogram Metropolitan BNP Convener Ershad Ullah, former Member Secretary Abul Hashem Bakkar, and senior journalists Jahidul Karim Kochi, Moazzemul Haque, Jasim Chowdhury Sabuj, Saleh Noman, Riaz Haider Chowdhury, and Saiful Islam Shilpi, among many others, attended the event.
