Country to face crisis if JS polls delayed over PR issue: Zahid
  Bangla Press Desk:  The country will surely be plunged into an utter crisis if the upcoming general election is somehow delayed, centring on the feud over the Proportional Representation (PR) system. The countrymen don’t understand the PR system, so no such method should be adopted that creates confusion among the people, AZM Zahid Hossain, standing committee member of BNP, said on Friday. He was addressing a discussion meeting titled “The Importance of National Parliament Election in Ensuring Democracy and Human Rights’ held at the National Press Club in Dhaka. Sensing danger in the ongoing feud over the PR system, he also urged the Election Commission to announce the election roadmap without delay.
He said the interim government has requested the chief election commissioner to hold the national election by mid-February. “Now, we are urging the Election Commission to announce the election roadmap immediately as any delay in the vote would benefit defeated autocratic forces,” he added. He came down hard on the leaders of a certain political party for their statements on the PR system and said, “Have you thought about the implications of the PR system? Who will be its beneficiary if the election is prolonged or not held on time?” This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
