BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury criticized those who obstruct democratic elections, stating, “If you neither participate in nor allow elections, you’re functioning more like a pressure group than a political party.” He added, “This behavior resembles that of Sheikh Hasina.” Khasru called for swift national elections and the transfer of power to a publicly elected government, emphasizing that political reform must extend beyond interim frameworks to the culture of politics itself.
