Amid growing calls by the opposition to restore the caretaker government system, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said politicians had not forgotten the 'repression and torture' inflicted by the military-backed caretaker government.
She said that politicians who were vocal for the caretaker system even would not be spared if a caretaker administration took charge.
The BNP and its allies have been demonstrating for revival of the caretaker government provision which the incumbent government annulled through the 15th amendment of the Constitution.
Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League chief, said this during a meeting with leaders of the party's front organisations at her Ganabhaban residence.
As the caretaker government provision has been scrapped, the upcoming national election will be held under a political government, in line with the Constitution.
The BNP-led 18-Party Alliance has been alleging that a free, fair and credible election under a partisan government was 'impossible'.
Hasina alleged that those who supported the emergency-time caretaker administration (January 2007 to December 2008) were campaigning against the incumbent government to create 'confusion'.
