BNP standing-committee member Chowdhury Tanvir Ahmed Siddiqui yesterday called upon the government to accept and implement the seven-point demand of the party.

"People of the country want to see free, fair and acceptable elections," he said while addressing a representative meeting of Narsingdi district BNP at the Engineers Institution in the city.

Qazi Asaad, coordinator of the district committee presided over where about 160 delegates took part in the daylong meeting.

Former Minister Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Prof Abdul Mannan Khan, Khairul Kabir Khokon, among others, attended the programme.

Tanvir Siddiqui said although the government said that it had accepted six out of seven points of demands but accepting demands and their execution are not the same things.

He also said the government must prove how far it is sincere in holding free and fair elections.

Mentioning the importance of the committee's activities, Tanvir Siddiqui said, BNP is restructuring its organisational activities to cope with the future challenges.

He called upon the political leaders to be united so none could create another 1/11 for stemming the elections.

The divisional committee meeting has also decided to gear up the party's activities in all districts of the division.

The BNP-led 4-party alliance will stage demonstrations across the country today as part of their move to press home their demands. The central rally will be held at the Engineers Institution at 3pm.
