Download PDF In a positive political development, the Awami League-led 14-party combine yesterday suspended the fourth round indefinite blockade programme as the council of advisers decided to implement several of its demands.
“We are postponing our non-stop blockade. We want to see now how the caretaker government acts in meeting our demands, as assured by advisers,” Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, coming out of an emergency meeting, told the press.
The bigwigs of 14-party alliance gathered in the meeting at her Dhanmondi office after the council of advisers declared to carry out some vital decisions for fair polls.
Hasina, however, said her alliance would enforce a sit-in demonstration around the Election Commission (EC) Secretariat today to realise their several demands including cancellation of the polls schedule and updating of the voter roll.
She also threatened to resume the non-stop blockade if the interim government fails to implement the promised decision.
The AL leader demanded that the voter list must have to be updated afresh and a fresh polls schedule will have to be announced.
“I am hopeful that the advisers will take necessary steps to implement their decision to hold a free and fair election,” Hasina said.
