The next 11th national parliamentary election will be inclusive along with the participation of many registered political parties, said Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Monday.
Obaidul Quader also the Minister for Road, Transport and Bridges hinted the upcoming general election will take place in an "inclusive" manner, even if BNP boycott.
"If BNP does not participate in the election, it will not be one-sided polls. If they think like that, I will say they are living in a fool's paradise", Quader
The last parliamentary election was held on January 5, 2014, amid controversy as BNP, the main opposition, and most other political parties boycotted the polls. As a result, 154 lawmakers were elected unopposed in the 10th parliament.
"There will be no more uncontested election in the future," Quader added while speaking at Naryanganj.
Quader also came down heavily on his political counterpart Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir for his remarks over the verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, scheduled to be announced on February 8.
"Fakhrul has already committed contempt of court by issuing threat not to accept the court verdict in connection with the case. The court should take the issue in cognizance," also said Quader.
