Razzque, also an Awami League presidium member, said this while speaking as the chief guest at a function to distribute relief as the gift from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina among the people affected by Covid-19 at Madhupur Municipality Auditorium in Tangail this morning, said a press release.

"There will be fair and neutral elections in the country through the Election Commission as per the constitution and no election would be held under any caretaker government," he said.

"BNP is now an isolated party and afraid to participate in the election... They are trying to come to power by hatching conspiracy without participating in the elections" he said.

"But if they want to come to power, they have to participate in the polls and get the people's mandate," he added.

 Upazila Chairman Sarwar Alam Khan Abu, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Shamima Yasmin, Upazila Awami League President Khandaker Shafiuddin, Senior Vice President Yakub Ali, Organizing Secretary Abul Kalam Azad and Upazila Vice Chairman Sharif Ahmed Nasir spoke on the occasion with municipality mayor M Siddique Hossain Khan in the chair.
