"Many of those who wanted elections in December are indulging in conspiracies to postpone the elections. They are trying to rehabilitate the Awami League," he said.
The adviser made the remarks at the orientation programme of newly-appointed officers and employees of the Palli Daridro Bimochon Foundation (PDBF) at the auditorium of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University in the city, said a press release, reports BSS.
If the election is held, those who are conspiring to postpone the national polls will have hurt their interests, Asif Mahmud said.
He, however, said that the practice in Bangladesh is that the ruling party appoints people from them in different organisations. "We are trying to
appoint people in various jobs on the basis of transparency, not appointment from a specific party," the adviser added.
