Interim government adviser Mahfuj Alam has said ‘anti-Bangladesh Awami League fascists’ will no longer be allowed to participate in elections.
“If Awami League returns to power, fascism will also return,” he said while addressing a street rally in Hajiganj Bazar area of Chandpur town on Saturday.
Mahfuj said only pro-Bangladesh political parties including BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami will take part in the elections.
Through a fair election and positive competition among all political parties, governance in Bangladesh will be reestablished, he said.
“We no longer want the fascist regimes of Sheikh Mujib or Sheikh Hasina. We want pro-Bangladesh forces will rule the country,” the adviser added.
Student representatives from Chandpur and Hajiganj Upazila were present during the event, reports UNB.
