BNP wants a person to be eligible again for the post of prime minister for next term after taking a break following serving in this position for two consecutive tenures.
BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed told media yesterday that there is no logic for narrowing the scope for a person to serve the country.
Salahuddin was talking to media during the break of a meeting of his party with the National Consensus Commission at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban LD Hall.
“BNP favors the reform proposal that a person can’t be prime minister more two consecutive terms. But the party wants a person to be qualified again for the position after taking a break,” he said.
A five-member BNP delegation is taking part in the meeting for the second day. Other members of the delegation are BNP’s standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, BNP chairperson’s advisory coun-cil member Ismail Zabiullah and lawyer Ruhul Quddus Kajal and retired bureaucrat Moniruzzaman Khan.
“The issue is yet to be placed at the meeting but the party’s position is clear,” Salahuddin however said.
