Consensus must to protect people’s voting rights: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia today reiterated her call for talks to reach a consensus on formation of an acceptable Election Commission for holding the next general election in a free and fair manner.

“Consensus is a must to protect people’s voting rights. And thus, the new Election Commission will have to be formed on the basis of consensus instead of a unilateral decision,” Khaleda Zia said.[twitter]

The former prime minister made the call on her twitter account this afternoon.

“It is not BNP’s unilateral demand but for all. It is not a trifling matter also. People’s voting rights are involved with the issue. Talks are needed in this context,” she said.
