Khelafat Andolan demands holding local polls first
Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan today (25 May) demanded holding the local government elections before the national parliament polls.
Leaders of the party made the demand while holding a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin at Nirbachan Bhaban in the capital's Agargaon.
After the meeting, Khelafat Andolan Ameer Maulana Abu Zafar Qasemi said, "We have held a meeting with the Election Commission. It is a matter of the government to decide when and how the elections will be held. We all know that three elections were held by the fascist government at night. There was no reflection of the people's votes. We want the people of the country to be able to cast their votes."
