Food Minister Qamrul Islam has said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will head the poll-time government as there is no scope for people or party to get inducted in that administration, who have no participation in the parliament.

“The next general election will be free, fair and acceptable one. We want an election to be participated by all. But we don’t need any kind of dialogue regarding the election. Court will decide whether BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia will be able to take part in the upcoming polls. We will accept court’s decision,” he said.

The minister came up with the observations while addressing a function organised on Sahapur Madrasa premises in Rohitpur union in Keraniganj on Sunday.

Presided over by veteran Awami League leader and Freedom Fighter Nurul Huda Master, the function was also addressed by Dhaka district Jubo League president Shafiul Azam Khan Barkur, Jubo League central committee member Eusuf Ali Chowdhury Selim, former district Awami League organising secretary Abu Siddique and Rohitpur union parishad chairman Abdul Ali, among others.
