Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said there is no need to discuss over neutral government to hold the next general election.
“We are seeking cooperation from all concerned, including BNP, in forming a neutral EC, not for a neutral government,” he said.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, came up with the observation while addressing a press conference at his official residence in the capital.
He said all things related to elections are under the jurisdiction of the EC, while the commission is all in all in holding elections.
During elections, he said, the government performs its routine works only and it provides all-out support to the EC in holding elections in a free, fair and neutral manner.
Responding to the allegations of BNP, the AL general secretary said the country's people are giving their mandates to the Awami League time and again to keep them safe from the BNP's misrules.
Mentioning that the people of the country are in a comfortable position during the reign of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, he said the people are not so confused that they would fall into the trap of BNP's reckless politics.
