Dhaka, July 17 -- BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday alleged that a conspiracy is underway to foil the national election scheduled for February next year.

"Trouble began the moment the idea of holding the election in February was set. Their intention is clear - they don't want the election to happen. But the people of this country have always fought for their rights and achieved them through struggle. This election too will be held within the announced timeframe," Fakhrul said.

He made the remarks while addressing an event 'Remembering the Martyred Students of the July Movement,' organised by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at Dhaka University's TSC on Thursday afternoon.
