Akhter Hossen, member secretary of National Citizen Party (NCP), on Saturday called for the full implementation of the referendum’s verdict.
“We have to move away from that framework and formulate a new caretaker government system. The July Charter contains such a proposal,” he said while addressing a roadside rally in Fulbari upazila of Dinajpur.
The party leaders entered the third day of their northern region tour under the nationwide road march programme, UNB reports.
Rangpur-4 MP Akhter alleged that the BNP wanted to retain the old caretaker government formula instead of accepting a new one.
He said people had expected a “new Bangladesh” after the mass uprising, where the administration would remain neutral, jobs would be available without bribery and merit would be valued.
“People cast two votes – one to form a government and another in the referendum. The government has been formed, but the referendum verdict is not being implemented,” he said.
NCP Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, Northern Region Chief Organiser Sarjis Alam, Joint Convener Atik Rahman Mujahid MP, Joint Chief Coordinator Abdul Ahad and other leaders also addressed the rally.
