Dhaka, Feb 19 (Just News): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said her government has nothing to do if BNP does not participate in the upcoming general election
"It is a political decision. We have nothing to do if BNP does not participate in the next general election," Hasina said this while addressing a press conference at her official residence Gono Bhaban in Dhaka this afternoon.
The premier said that the next general election will be held in due time, no matter whichever party takes part in the 11th parliamentary election or not.
About Khaleda Zia's verdict, Hasina, also president of the ruling Awami League, said the close aids of Khaleda Zia have filed the case against her during the last caretaker government and the court has given the judgment.
The chief of the past caretaker government Fakhruddin Ahmed and the then chief of Army Staff Gen Moeen Uddin Ahmed have filed the case against Khaleda Zia.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was addressing a press conference at Gono Bhaban this afternoon about the outcome of her recent official visit to Italy and Vatican City.
The prime minister went to Italy on Sunday last on a four-day official visit to join the meeting of Rome-based International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) as one of its keynote speakers at the invitation of IFAD President Gilbert F Houngbo.
At the invitation of Pope Francis, Hasina also visited the Holy See (Vatican City) and held meetings with the Pope and Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
Hasina returned home on Saturday evening after making a stopover in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi.
