DHAKA: BNP leader Moudud Ahmed on Friday said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has delivered an irresponsible statement over the killing of four people by the police in Chadpur and Laksmipur in BNP district rallies on Sunday. “The PM says that opposition leader Khaleda Zia is responsible for the killing of the four persons. Whereas, Home Minister regrettably admitted that the four people were killed by the police. Such statement of PM shows her irresponsibility,” Moudud said while speaking at a human chain, organised by the Swadhinata Forum in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city.

He further said, “No government will be able to stay in power for long by killing people as it did not happen in the past or will not happen in future.”

Terming the reconstitution of the election commission as drama, he said, “The government has formed a search committee with two active supporters of them by violating the constitution.  The names sent by the government will be recommended to the president. But the president has no power to recruit the election commissioners. According to article 48(3) of the constitution, president will only recruited those as recommended by the PM. So the drama is clear now.”

He reiterated that the main opposition BNP would not take part in the next general election if it was held under political government.
