The lawmaker from Chapai Nawabganj-3 said, "All the parties in this parliament had staged movement demanding the caretaker government. At some point, BNP, Awami League, and even the Jatiya Party did.
"Why are you protesting today against the caretaker government or election under a neutral government? People have lost their right to vote today."
Calling for a free and fair national election with the participation of all political parties, he said, "I will speak to the prime minister requesting her to start the discussion before the next national election."
He also complained that there has been no effective opposition party in the current parliament.
