BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud has said that any political party seeking to claim ground democratically must contest elections and win the people’s mandate.
He criticized Jamaat-e-Islami for announcing programs instead of preparing for elections, suggesting that their reluctance stems from a lack of electoral confidence.
Khasru further argued that groups undermining the Consensus Commission talks are disrespecting democratic processes, adding: “The people will decide the future of those who attempt to destabilize the nation.”
