Dhaka, Aug 19 (V7N) – Legal Advisor Dr. Asif Nazrul has said there is no possibility of stepping back from the timeframe announced by the Chief Advisor regarding the upcoming National Assembly elections. The government, he stressed, is determined to complete the polls on schedule.

He made the remarks while responding to journalists’ questions at the Secretariat on Tuesday.

Dr. Nazrul noted that the “quality of political parties has not changed,” which is why, in his view, they continue to make politically charged statements.

Speaking about institutional reforms, he added that recommendations made for restructuring the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the Election Commission (EC) will be implemented into law within the next couple of months. “Work on this is starting from today,” he said.
