BNP advisor Zainul Abedin Farroque has declared that general elections will be held before Ramadan without further delay. “The recent London meeting cleared all confusion. We must now prevent any new conspiracies,” he said.

He urged the Chief Adviser to follow the example of former Chief Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed, who held elections within three months of Ershad's fall. Farroque also criticized the current education system, blaming it on the governance of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her late father. “If we fail to reform education, national development will remain a dream,” he added.
