Senior BNP leader says elections should be held in December 2025, and not April next year
Dhaka, June 7 (UNI) Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) General Secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam, reiterating his party's stance on the national polls, said that elections should be held in December 2025, and the proposed April 2026 date is not viable for holding polls. Citing adverse weather, Ramadan, and public examinations as his reasons, the BNP leader said: "The time (April) is not the right time for elections in Bangladesh. There is a risk of extreme heat, storms, and rain. Ramadan… and public examinations will also be taking place. It seems that not much thought has been given to this timeframe." Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus had announced April 2026 as the date for holding the national polls, which the party described as a "disappointing" decision, The Daily Star reported. The party claimed that the 84-year-old CA's decision was aimed at "appeasing a select group of political parties", alluding to the hardline Islamic fundamentalist groups like Jamaat-e-Islami, and the National Citizen Party, who said that no polls can be held until "justice" is not delivered to the "martyrs" of the July Uprising. "BNP has been demanding elections by December, which reflected the peoples' expectations. We believe elections can be held in December, and that would be the most suitable time for the nation," he added. Upon the announcement by CA Yunus, the BNP Standing Committee noted that he did not provide any clear justification as to why holding the election by December would not be feasible, and instead touched upon topics like construction of ports and foreign policy issues – subjects that did not fall under an interim government's ambit. "The BNP has repeatedly said that it wants elections as soon as possible. We had hoped that Dr Muhammad Yunus would announce the election date by December. But undoubtedly, not only the BNP, but the entire nation has been disappointed by the announcement of elections in April," he told reporters. UNI ANV RN

Left parties demand Supreme Court probe into alleged fake encounters of Maoist leaders in Chhattisgarh
Hyderabad, June 7 (UNI) Leaders of various Left parties strongly condemned the alleged custodial killings of Maoist leaders in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district and demanded that all those currently in police custody be produced before a court without delay. They also called for a judicial inquiry by a sitting Supreme Court judge into the deaths of top Maoist leaders, including Sudhakar and Suresh. In a joint statement released after a meeting held at the CPI State Office, Makhdum Bhavan on Saturday, Left party leaders alleged that top Maoist cadres held in Bijapur police custody are being systematically executed and falsely declared as killed in encounters under Operation Kagar. They warned that 10 to 20 more leaders in custody could face similar fates if urgent intervention is not taken. The Left parties demanded an immediate halt to Operation Kagar and urged the government to initiate peace talks with the Maoist party instead of continuing with what they termed as a "brutal and inhuman campaign." The meeting was chaired by Pashya Padma (CPI) and attended by Abbas (CPI), Vemulapalli Venkatramaiah and K Govardhan (CPI-ML New Democracy), Vanam Sudhakar (YMPI-U), Teja (SUCI-C), and Janaki Ramulu (RSP), among others. Prominent Left leaders like Koonanneni Sambasiva Rao (CPI), John Wesley (CPM), P. Suryam (CPI-ML New Democracy), Potu Ranga Rao (CPI-ML Mass Line), Gadagoni Ravi (MCPI-U), Prasadanna (CPI-ML), Ch. Murahari (SUCI-C), Ramesh Raja (CPI-ML Liberation), and Banda Surender Reddy (Forward Bloc) also participated and endorsed the demands. UNI VV BD
