Dhaka, Aug. 26 -- BNP Standing Committee Member Salahuddin Ahmed on Tuesday warned that those opposing elections will be excluded from politics or face political consequences.

"Any debate in the political field will be answered in the field itself. Whoever speaks against elections will be eliminated from politics," he told journalists at his Gulshan residence.

Referring to potential alliances, Salahuddin said BNP may consider joining forces with those who had stood with the party in joint movements against the Awami League government.

"Any political party has the right not to take part in an election. But those who unjustifiably seek opportunities to boycott will ultimately fall behind in future politics," he said.
