BNP leader Amir Khasru stated that individuals or groups afraid of elections have no place in politics and should instead operate as pressure groups or NGOs. "You can’t be in politics, avoid elections, and simultaneously obstruct democratic processes," he said. Khasru warned that countries delaying elections often experience civil unrest and division, while those returning to democracy through timely elections prosper socially and economically. He emphasized the need for tolerance and mutual respect in politics and predicted that those ignoring the psychological shift among the people after the fall of the authoritarian regime led by Sheikh Hasina have no future in politics.
