News Desk: Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr. said that the government can cancel the order suspending Khaleda Zia's sentence at any time. Hasan Mahmud said, "I think the BNP needs to keep this in mind."

The minister was responding to reporters' questions at the unveiling ceremony of the Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum's (BSRF) 'BSRF Message' at the Information Ministry's conference room at the Secretariat on Monday (September 20th).

BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the government was not releasing Khaleda Zia permanently for fear of repercussions. Because BNP leader Khalda Zia was not released on bail or released by the court. The Prime Minister has suspended the sentence as per the powers given by the law. That's why he's out of jail. That is why the BNP should be thanked, the government should be thanked. '

"The sentence has been suspended for six months, but the government can revoke the order at any time," he said. If that order is revoked tomorrow, Khaleda Zia will have to return to jail tomorrow. I think the BNP needs to keep this in mind too. '

BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said, "We have called on all to take to the streets in unison to demand a non-partisan and neutral government." But the people did not respond to their call. There is no reason to respond. The next election will be held in Bangladesh according to the constitution. According to the constitution, the current government will be the election government. Elections are never under the government, elections are under the Election Commission. When the election schedule is announced, all the government officials and employees who are involved in the election are assigned their jobs by the Election Commission. The government cannot transfer a single police constable after announcing the election schedule. The Bangladesh Election Commission has already conducted many elections very successfully.

He said, "That is why I will tell the BNP that there will be no benefit in uttering such empty words." The next election will be held according to the constitution.

Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum President Tapan Biswas and General Secretary Masudul Haque and other leaders of the forum were present at the time.
