BNP general secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that the 11th national polls has turned into a mockery as there is no democracy in the country.
The BNP general secretary came up with the allegation while talking to reporters from UNB on Thursday.
Expressing strong doubt about credible polls tomorrow, Mirza Fakhrul said, “It is not easy to revive the “dead democracy as people have lost their confidence in the country’s election system.”
Mentioning the attacks on Oikyafront candidates and activists, the BNP leader accused Awami League of obstructing BNP’s election campaign.
Mirza Fakhrul also termed the annulment of the candidacies of several BNP candidates as part of a “conspiracy”.
“The Oikyafront had joined the election taking adequate preparations and fielded candidates in 300 seats. Among them, the candidatures of 30-35 candidates were cancelled as part of a conspiracy,” said Fakhrul.
“General voters have got scared in every constituency due to violence, state-sponsored terrorism and Awami terrorism,” he added.
“Now we’ve no expectation over the election. This election has become a complete mockery as what we’re watching every day in controlled news media. The state, the government and the Election Commission are working together to turn it into a mockery,” he said.
Mentioning that the Oikyafront was denied to hold a pre-election rally in capital Dhaka on December 27 by police, Fakhrul said, “A reign of terror has been established in most constituencies of Dhaka. No civilised person can face such terror acts.”
“Democracy is now totally dead in the country. It’s not easy to revive it,” said Fakhrul.
However, the BNP general secretary express his wish to see Bangladesh turn into a democratic country in the coming years.
