Commenting that the BNP has been struggling for 17 years for fair and acceptable elections, BNP Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu said that Bangladesh needs an elected government.The Awami League kept the people of this country out of the elections for 17 years. Recently, when I talk about these elections, some people feel sad. I sympathize with them.He made these remarks at a discussion meeting on the occasion of the 44th martyrdom anniversary of President Ziaur Rahman, the proclaimer of the capital's independence, on Monday (June 2). The discussion meeting was organized by the Jatrabari Thana Nationalist Businessmen's Group.At that time, he said, "Currently, the largest party in this country after BNP is Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat-e-Islami did not even get three to four seats in the past without the support of BNP. Due to the agitation, now it will either double or get five to six."If BNP also protested, then BNP will also get double seats. Then there will be no seats for them. Those who are trying to prevent the elections are trying to save their own honor and dignity.Also present at the discussion meeting were Jatrabari Thana Nationalist Businessmen's Party President Mohammad Ali Sheikh, General Secretary Bakul, former office secretary of the Krishak Dal SK Sadi, President of the Desh Bachao Manush Bachao Andolan KM Rakibul Islam Ripon and others.
