DHAKA: Ruling Awami League Advisory Council Member Suranjit Sengupta MP, also minister without portfolio, said opposition BNP will participate in the next general election as they are taking part in Gazipur by-election.

He came up with the statement while addressing a discussion meeting organized by Bangabandhu Peshajibi Parishad at the National Press Club Saturday.

The AL leader said BNP is going to take part in Kapasia by-election which indicates they would take part in the next national election under interim government as well.
