Khaleda sets conditions for dialogue

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia said yesterday the constitutional provision of installing a non-partisan caretaker government to oversee general elections remains legal in spite of the recent Supreme Court verdict.
Addressing a crowded press conference at her Gulshan office in the capital, the leader of the opposition in parliament accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of making “wrong and confusing interpretations of the verdict.”
Khaleda quoted part of the verdict where it says, “The Constitution (Thirteenth amendment) Act. 1996 (Act 1 of 1996) is prospectively declared void and ultra vires the constitution.”
This clearly means, she said, the illegality of the provision will not be effective now.
