Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has finalised all organisational preparations to participate in the national parliamentary election scheduled for February, Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said today.
Speaking to local journalists after Jumma prayer at Sardarpara Jame Mosque in Kurigram town, Rizvi said, "Unless a major national crisis emerges, the election will be held in February as per the schedule announced by the government. The plan is to hold the election before Ramadan. And accordingly, BNP has already completed all preparations to take part in the election."
Addressing questions about the return of Tarique Rahman, Rizvi said, "Tarique Rahman is the leader of the common people of this country. Considering his mother's critical illness, the political reality, and the overall situation, he will return home at an appropriate time. The people are waiting for his return."
Earlier, a special prayer was held at the mosque seeking the speedy recovery of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia. Party leaders, activists, and locals participated in the prayer.
