Prove your public support participating in polls: Amu to BNP

The 14-party alliance spokesperson Amir Hossain Amu said if BNP has public support, it should contest the polls to prove it.

He made the challenge while presiding over a discussion at Diploma Engineers Institution auditorium in the city on Friday.

He said that BNP fears polls and for this they are hatching various conspiracies to thwart elections. 

Following the landslide defeat in 2008 general elections, the BNP has been in fear to join any elections, said the veteran AL leader.

Amu, also Awami League's advisory council member, reiterated that the next national elections will be held as per constitutional provision.

He, however, warned that none will be allowed to go to power without polls. 

Marking the 48th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and National Mourning Day, the 14-party alliance organised the programme.
