BNP National Executive Committee Vice Chairman Advocate Ahmed Azam Khan said, ‘We are noticing that law and order is deteriorating in various parts of the country.

It cannot be called widespread. But the government has to be strict.

“If the government does not deal with these isolated incidents severely, then these incidents will continue to happen. And the election environment will be completely ruined. The planned government must understand this. It will become a challenge for the government to hold a good election. We do not want this government to fail after the mass uprising,” he said to reporters before attending a workers’ meeting of Basail Upazila Mohila Dal in Tangail around 11 am on Saturday (August 16).

He said, “The government has announced the election for mid-February with respect to the people, including the BNP. Dr. Yunus made this announcement at home and abroad. But some political parties are not able to accept this announcement. And they are creating various kinds of situations that are like a bombshell. I think the government should be strict.”

He further said, ‘We have recently noticed that law and order is deteriorating. There are incidents happening in various places. There are various kinds of talk about our advisors. And various videos about them are going viral. It is not just us who are worried about this. Every democratic citizen is worried. Because the sooner we can return to the path of democracy, the better for the country. But they are standing in the way of democracy. Our nation must unite and focus on the path of elections from all these adversities. Otherwise, it will be very inauspicious for the country.’
