BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Thursday called on Chief Adviser to the interim government, Professor Muhammad Yunus, to make a clear and genuine commitment regarding the national election.

“You (chief adviser) have mentioned December, March, and June as possible election dates, but the public is not taking it well. You must make a clear and genuine commitment to people about when you will announce elections, and then tell that to the public. After that, political parties can talk,” Rizvi said.

He made the remarks this afternoon while distributing Eid food aid in Uttarkhan, Dhaka.

Rizvi criticised Yunus for what he called inconsistent statements on the election schedule.

“One moment, you say the election will be in December, then in June. The people of this country respect you; you are an accomplished person. This sort of talk would have suited Sheikh Hasina,” he added,

While acknowledging Yunus’s efforts to curb market syndicates, Rizvi noted that essential commodities like rice, eggs, and chicken remain expensive.

He urged the chief adviser to ensure his actions align with his commitments.
