See no outcome from PM’s New York trip: Mirza Fakhru

Bangladesh desk: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today said that he saw “no outcome” of the  Bangladesh Prime Minister’s visit to New York, to attend the UN General Assembly.

“She could not even bring back a solution to the Rohingya crisis. We think that so far the Prime Minister and this government have not played a positive role in the Rohingya issue,” he said.

“You will notice from her entire speech that there is no democracy in the country. The rights of the people have been taken away, the Election Commission has been completely destroyed… All the elements needed to build a democratic state have been destroyed,” he said.

There was no mention how she would quickly transform the country into a truly democratic state and turn the electoral system into a democratic system, and how she would alleviate the helplessness of the people, Fakhrul said.

“We expect that they will resign and organise elections to be conducted by a neutral election commission, under a neutral interim government,” he added.
