The Next Election Will Certainly Be Held Under a Caretaker Government: Home Minister

Home Minister Mr. Salahuddin Ahmed has said the caretaker government system will return through a constitutional amendment. He said the next parliamentary election will be held under that system. He said, “The next election will certainly be held under a caretaker government. A political understanding has been reached on this.”

Mr. Ahmed said, “The highest court has cancelled the verdict on the 13th amendment. After amending the constitution through the legislature, we must bring back the caretaker government system.”

Speaking about the return of former Prime Minister Ms. Sheikh Hasina, Mr. Ahmed said, “We have sent requests to India several times through the Foreign Ministry to bring her back under the prisoner exchange agreement.”

Speaking about the attack on police in Gopalganj the day before yesterday, the minister said, “The administration is taking legal action against those involved in that incident.”

He also answered a question about the raid on the house of an Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police in Purbachal and the allegations against him. The minister said the authorities have withdrawn the officer from his post. They will start a departmental process against him. He said, “We will follow the legal process. We will not consider anyone’s identity.”
