Let's hold election to save people: Mirza Fakhrul

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has called upon all not to create further divisions, raising the demands for a referendum and PR, rather than to help hold the upcoming election to save the countrymen. 

"Let's hold the election quickly to save the people," he said while exchanging views with the people of his parliamentary seat, Thakurgaon-1, at Goreya Union Parishad in Thakurgaon on Wednesday.

Mirza Fakhrul called upon all the political parties not to create divisions or make movements over the issues of the referendum and proportionate representatives (PR). 

"Debate can be held over the PR in the next parliament," he said. 

The Senior BNP leader said those who are demonstrating on the roads over the issues do not have good intentions. 

"They want to foil the election," he said.

Mirza Fakrul called upon all to extend wholehearted cooperation to hold the next election, saying, "All want to cast their votes. Please help to do the election and let's there be an elected parliament where these issues will be discussed." 

He reiterated his party's commitment to creating jobs for one crore people.
