BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has called a press conference on Thursday
afternoon for briefing the media about the BNP-led 18-Party Alliance's
next course of action to press for a non-party caretaker poll-time
government.
The press conference will be held at the Gulshan office of BNP chief, Khaleda's Press Secretary Maruf Kamal Khan said on Wednesday.
"The press conference has been scheduled for 4pm. The opposition leader will explain the stance BNP and the 18-Party Alliance have taken over the current political situation, especially for ensuring a fair and neutral election under a non-party caretaker government to protect the right to franchise of the people," Khan said.
The Supreme Court verdict rescinding the caretaker government system has left the politicians of Bangladesh divided.
Ever since the judgment was pronounced, the opposition has been demanding reinstatement of the non-partisan government arrangement. But the Awami League-led ruling Grand Alliance has been sticking to the idea that the judgment leaves no scope for reintroduction of the system.
The opposition leader is also expected to clarify her coalition's stance in the backdrop of release of the full judgment on Sep 16.
The apex court scrapped the caretaker government system on May 10 last year.
On Tuesday, the BNP decided to reject the full judgment at a meeting of the party's senior leaders.
