BNP leader Aminul Haque criticized certain advisers in the interim government, comparing their fear of elections to that of dictators.

“We don’t understand why you are so afraid of elections. People and BNP activists have supported you with high expectations,” Haque said. “But every time elections are mentioned, you seem disturbed — hiding behind calls for reform and new excuses.”

He also criticized a certain group for blaming the BNP for every national issue, while asserting that BNP is genuinely working for the welfare of the people. “If the 31-point reform plan is implemented properly, all state institutions can be thoroughly restructured,” he concluded.
