Dr Hasan said, “Mirza Fakhrul Saheb has said that he will not go to the polls without a caretaker government because BNP does not believe in the power of the people, but in the politics of conspiracies and weapons. That is why they say not to go to the polls. They have tried in the past to prevent the election, but did not succeed.”
