Dhaka, Mar 22 - Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuj Alam today said Awami League is not a domestic force rather it is essentially a ‘transplanted force’ from abroad.

“Awami League is not a domestic force…rather it is essentially a transplanted force from abroad. Its strings are held in Delhi, and the kite flies in Bangladesh. This kite will no longer be allowed to fly in Bangladesh,” he said.

The adviser was addressing at a discussion and iftar programme, Nofel Society in memory of the martyrs and injured of the student-led mass uprising, in the capital here on Friday.

Mahfuj said, “Whenever Awami League will get opportunity or chance, it will certainly go against the aspirations of the country’s common people.”

“We won against Awami fascism. We must remember that the victory, we earned, has been achieved through a political and united fight. If we don’t sustain the unity and continue the fight politically, Awami League will come back again,” he said.

Commenting on election, Mahfuj said the elections will be held in December as scheduled and urged all to prepare for it.

“Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus said that the election will be held on time.

 It is scheduled for the end of this year, in December. A timeline has already been set, and the election will take place within that timeframe. Everyone should start preparing for it,” Mahfuj said.

He hoped that the election would be held in right time if the political parties act responsibly, stop sabotage and the state organs properly cooperate.- Source - BSS News
