Considering the country's present condition, next February or April should be the time for holding national elections, commented Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Shafiqur Rahman

"We think two times are appropriate for the election. One is February, before the month of Ramadan. If necessary reforms and a visible process of justice fail to gain public trust by then, the election must still be held no later than April."

He stated these at a conference of the party’s district and city unit ameers at the Al-Falah Auditorium in the capital on Saturday.

Shafiqur Rahman noted that there are some issues involving weather and other factors. Ramadan will begin at the end of February and continue through two-thirds of March. Elections are not feasible during this period.
