Former Bangladesh Premier Khaleda Zia urges democratic election amidst tensions. Alleging conspiracies, she calls for national unity. Her son, Tarique Rahman, voices concerns over interim government's neutrality, as new political parties emerge. The unrest follows efforts to establish a democratic system post-July uprising.

Former Bangladeshi Premier Khaleda Zia has raised an alarm against 'fascist collaborators' whom she accuses of undermining the achievements of the July uprising. In a poignant call, she urges the country to rally for an election acceptable to all, aimed at restoring democratic integrity.

Speaking from London, her son and Acting Chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Tarique Rahman, insists on the importance of a neutral interim government. He warns that public doubt is mounting as political tensions escalate, particularly given the rise of new political entities.
