BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has cautioned that the party will not take responsibility if the chief adviser makes any decision outside the scope of the signed July Charter. Speaking after a meeting between BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and French Ambassador Jean-Marc Séré-Charlet in Dhaka, Amir Khosru said no political group has the right to hold the government hostage to press demands, warning that such actions would isolate them from the public. He also emphasized that the ongoing judicial process has no link to the upcoming elections and that those attempting to obstruct the polls are enemies of democracy. According to him, France, like other countries, expects Bangladesh’s elections to be held by February and is eager to work with an elected government.
