BNP JS caucus places poll-time formula

Staff Correspondent
The BNP Parliamentary Caucus, a body of some BNP lawmakers, yesterday proposed to form a 15-member interim government for holding the upcoming general election.
According to their formula, the government with the chief adviser as its head will carry out all administrative functions for 90 days during which the election will be held.
The caucus came up with the proposal at a seminar titled "Caretaker Government, Corruption Prevention and Law and Order Situation" at Parliament Members Club of Jatiya Sangsad.
BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who addressed the seminar as chief guest, however, said, "The BNP has no relation with the proposal but they will discuss it at their party's highest
forum in the presence of the chairperson."
The caucus suggested that a former chief justice or an incumbent justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court or the incumbent speaker of parliament might be appointed the chief adviser.
Alternatively, the two main political parties can pick a civil society member for the post, it said.
Then, the chief adviser will pick 14 neutral, non-political advisers on the advices of the president and political parties, according to the proposal.
Expressing some reservation, the caucus said the Speaker, though she had failed to play an impartial role, might be eligible for being chief adviser if she does not run for presidency in the future.
The caucus also suggested that the opposition BNP and the ruling Awami League hold

At the seminar, Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque presented the keynote highlighting the poll-time government, BNP's electoral manifesto focusing on anti-cormption measures and improvement of the law and order situation.
Referring to the issue of nominating candidates in the upcoming election, several participants asked the BNP policymakers, "What will they do with the cormpt politicians?"
"What will happen to those among us who are
cormpt? Let's find a way so that they don't get nominated," said Moazzem Hossain Alai, president of Jubo Dal, BNP's youth wing.
Meanwhile, the BNP during a meeting at a city hotel with foreign diplomats yesterday highlighted the necessity of a non-party caretaker government to oversee the next general election.
A BNP delegation headed by Fakhrul made a powerpoint presentation detailing the grounds.
The envoys of the US, UK, European Union, Germany and Canada, except that of India, attended the meeting, said Osman Faruq, an adviser to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
