Making election free and fair
Nazmul Hasan, Ontario, Canada
Recently the prime minister told in a public meeting that the next election would be in accordance with the constitution. I think this is a good announcement. Demands of the opposition can be met within the constitutional framework. The opposition's main concerns are the appointment of former chief justice as next chief of the caretaker government and also appointments of election commissioners. There is no binding in the constitution that former CJ must be appointed as the next caretaker government chief. The constitution allows appointment of any other acceptable person as the chief of caretaker government. I think the ruling party and the opposition camp should sit together to solve this problem. However, everything depends on the good intention of the government. An alliance, which has two-thirds majority in parliament, should not be afraid of facing free and fair election. Right?
