Dhaka, Oct 17 - BNP Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu on Thursday called on the government to announce the date for the next national election as soon as possible.

“We consider you (govt) a philosopher's stone. Do you see yourselves that way? If so, then announce the election date and roadmap,” he said.

Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader emphasised that the sooner the election roadmap is revealed, the quicker citizens' expectations will be met.

“If you can do this, the nation will remember you. Your name will be inscribed in gold in history,” he added.

The discussion was organised by Zia Projornma at the Jatiya Press Club.

Shamsuzzaman Dudu, a former president of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, urged the interim government to prioritise conducting a fair and credible election.

“The people of the country are waiting to know when the election will take place. So, the government should set a date for the election on top priority basis,” he added.-UNB
