Bangladesh Revolutionary Workers Party General Secretary Saiful Haque said that the voters as the owners of the republic will decide who will form the government in the next period through the elections.
He said, there is no room for it to be otherwise in a democratic system. If the Prime Minister’s government or his party wins and forms the government through a free, impartial, democratic and acceptable election, no one will have any objection.
He said these things at a press conference at the party’s central office at Segunbagicha in the capital on Sunday (May 5). The Revolutionary Works Party organized this press conference to respond to the Prime Minister’s press conference speech regarding his visit to Thailand.
He further said, “But if someone thinks that no one but them can come to power or run the country – it is not compatible with democratic values.”
Saiful Haque said that in the press conference, the prime minister asked the left-wing politicians to know who they want to bring to power by overthrowing the government. How they turned ninety degrees! Earlier, in the Awami League meeting on April 30, he said that the ultra-left and ultra-right want to unite and overthrow the government. He asked what is his crime?
This leader of the democracy stage said, I want to mention only three political issues here. First, the government has blocked the systematic democratic process of change of government. Secondly, they have effectively dismissed the entire competitive electoral system of the country.
Third, they have undermined the country’s remaining pluralistic democratic structure by weakening and weakening the country’s constitutional and democratic institutions. Through these activities, the country has been pushed to a path of deep uncertainty and terrible disaster.
This leftist leader said that after being in power for 15 consecutive years as the political party that led the liberation war, the Prime Minister and the Awami League now need to prove their popularity and acceptance by taking the political risk of a free, impartial and credible election to save the country from possible disaster.
Saiful Haque feels that there has been no solution to the election-centric political crisis in the country through the last three national elections.
He said, rather, the political crisis has intensified. Unable to deal with the opposition politically, the government continued its unprecedented repression of its political opponents using the entire state apparatus. If this trend continues, the country will fall into the abyss of inevitable disaster.
Saiful Haque also said, We think the alleged dummy election of January 7 did not give political and moral legitimacy to the government to retain power. I hope that the government and the government party will soon take effective and credible political initiatives to overcome the existing deep political crisis without delay.
