Dhaka, Mar 18 - Dhaka District Jubo Dal President Yassin Ferdous Murad on Tuesday said that the people of Bangladesh will not accept any excuses for delaying the national election.

"Prolonged delays in holding the national election under the pretext of reforms are unacceptable under any circumstances. The people of the country will not tolerate any excuse for deferring the election," Murad told an iftar party.

The iftar was organised by the BNP Sanora Union unit in Dhamrai and its associated bodies at the Mahishashi Purba Para Islamia Madrasa field.

Murad said the people of the country have been waiting for 17 years to elect their representatives through a free and fair election.

"The people have been deprived of their right to vote for far too long. If the interim government delays the polls on the grounds of reforms or for any other reason, the people may become frustrated and take to the streets," he observed.

The Jubo Dal leader also expressed deep concern over the worsening law and order situation in the country, describing it as alarming. "Only an elected government can restore stability and order in the country.”

He called on the interim government to present a clear election roadmap to dispel any confusion in the minds of the people regarding the national election.

Although seven months have elapsed since the fall of the fascist Awami regime, Murad said its associates are still holding positions in various state institutions and key offices. "These fascist allies are actively conspiring against Bangladesh and its people.”

He urged the democratic forces to unite and resist all plots by the fascist forces. "We must remain united to rid Bangladesh of autocracy and establish full democracy in the country. - UNB
