Dhaka, Aug 12 - BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday urged the interim government led by Dr Muhammad Yunus to create a conducive environment for holding a national election as soon as possible.

He also expressed hope that the new interim government will be able to arrange a free and fair election to establish an elected government.

“I request them (interim government) to create proper ground for an election as soon as possible,” the BNP leader said.

Fakhrul said, the election is necessary to arrange after overcoming all dangers to build a genuinely free Bangladesh and establish a government of people.
