The Jamaat-e-Islami has accused those opposing the proportional representation (PR) system of trying to delay the February election. He said the nation is eager for a festive election and rejected claims that Jamaat wants to postpone the vote. In contrast, no such efforts are visible from others.”Shahjahan added that those blocking the legal framework of the July Charter and opposing the PR system are aware of their own weakness and want to “delay” the election. The Jamaat and several other parties have launched a movement demanding constitutional amendments before the polls, implementation of the Charter and elections under the PR system. The BNP insists constitutional changes must come from an elected parliament and accuses those backing the PR system of attempting to defer the elections.
