Leaders of Ganotantrik Bam Morcha (GBM) yesterday said the government wants to hold a blueprint election aiming to form a rubber stamp parliament but the countrymen will not accept it.

he government is continuing the state of emergency only to protect itself from the public wrath,” they said this at a press conference at the office of Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal (BSD).

The formal dialogue will not bring any solution to the existing crises if the emergency continues, they added

GBM Coordinator MoshrefaMishu read out a written speech at the programme.

The leaders said handing over power to the elected representatives through holding an election is the most important matter though the government is interested in its own agenda instead of holding election.

Condemning the mass arrest drive across the country, they said such arrests are making the situation more complicated. "In fact, the government has failed in all fronts. That is why, it wants to make itself safe to pass on the blame to others."
