“In the meeting with the Chief Adviser, we will want to know the specific timeline for holding the next general election,” he said.

Salahuddin said Bangladesh needs to restart the democratic process and that is through election.
 
“We want democratic process to be continued through an elected government,” he said.
   
Salahuddin said the BNP wants revival of the situation prior to the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, stating that his party’s proposal about the constitution prioritises the balance in the state.
