Registration of political parties

BNP to meet EC tomorrow to seek time extension

BSS, Dhaka

BNP Secretary General Advocate Khandaker Delwar Hossain on Tuesday said a delegation of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) would go to Election Commission (EC) on July 16 with an appeal for extension of the time limit for registration.
He complained that conspiracy is on not to allow the BNP to be registered with the EC. The party will take decision on holding its council after the meeting with the EC, he added.
Delwar said this while talking to the journalists at the party central office at Naya Paltan. He urged the EC to extend the time limit so that all political parties could be registered properly.
The central council of the BNP will not be held before December, a party source said adding that as a result the BNP will not be able to submit its final constitution to be adopted by the party council within July 25 for its registration as a political party.
Delwar said the hasty decision of holding the party council by Awami League is not a political move. It is an attempt to keep the BNP out of the registration process, he added.
He said the Election Commission while setting the deadline and afterwards said several times that they might extend the deadline if the parties request it to do so, but now they have taken a different stand. "Why did they show such a gesture earlier," he questioned.
A source of the BNP chairperson's office said the central council is expected to be held in the first week of December.
The 31st founding anni-versary of the BNP will be held in September 1 in a befitting manner and the party will be prepared for the council through it, the source added.
