In line with other BNP leaders BNP chairperson's advisor Brig Gen (retd) Hannan Shah Sunday demanded resignation of CEC Dr ATM Shamsul Huda for his recent statements and partisan remarks.

Talking to reporters at his Mahakhali New DOHS house, he said the CEC has become controversial for his comments about the BNP constitution that has created doubts about his neutrality in the public mind.

Shah also alleged although BNP is a big political party, but it is being kept aloof from election process as well as from the people under a design.

He said the Election Commission is showing hostile attitude with BNP. He cautioned that BNP will decide its next course in consultation within the party regarding the CEC if he takes any step against BNP in future.

Shah also pointed out lack of coordination between the government and the election commission. "We hope they would give election is quickly as possible," he said However, the BNP leader said people will not accept any stage-managed election as they did not accept it in the past.

On BNP's unity, Shah said they will have to wait for some time as party's secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain is out of the country for treatment. "Wait for time, I hope we will be able to give you some good news," said Shah who is negotiating between the two factions for unity.
