The Caretaker Government was not set in the power not for contesting with the political parties, said Secretary General of Jamaat-e Islami Ali Ahsan Mojaheed yesterday.

Urging the government to release former Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and to hold the national election soon, Mojaheed said the Government was set only for holding of the national election.

Mojaheed was addressing a rally organised by Jamaat-e Islami Naogaon zila unit in the district town yesterday. Naogoan Zila Jamaat Ameer Prof Salekur Rahman presided over the rally.

He said the non-democratic and non-elected government would not be able to suppress the people for long.

About curbing corruption by the government, he said that to curb the corruption was not intention of the government, but it was only a eyewash to keep the power for long time.

Prior to the rally, Mojaheed exchanged views with the district's BNP leaders at the zila parishad rest house.
