AL snatched victory on municipal polls: BNP
BNP Secretary Standard Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday alleged that Awami League (AL) individuals snatched the victory in Saturday’s municipal polls by indulging in ‘vote robbery ‘.
"You’ve seen what's happened to the municipal elections held yesterday (Saturday). They (AL) possess captured the majority of the polling stations and snatched the triumph by indulging in vote robbery,” he said.
Fakhrul also lamented a BNP nominated councillor who actually got elected securing 85 percent of votes in Sirajganj municipality was first killed.
He made the remarks while speaking in a gathering of BNP’s Dhaka divisional coordination committee on the celebration of the golden jubilee of independence.
The meeting happened at BNP standing committee member Mirza Abbas’ Shahjahanpur residence.
Fakhrul said the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are being found in the elections to ‘rig’ votes and ‘manipulate’ the benefits through different tricks. “They’re using the state machinery in which to stay power and cement the one-party governance system.”
He said it really is unfortunate that the country will probably celebrate the Golden Jubilee of its independence when persons are deprived of liberty and democratic and constitutional rights, including the voting one.
The BNP head said a section of folks in the united states has been amassing wealth as the ordinary ones are fighting poverty and becoming poor to poorer.
“Our democracy provides been annihilated and human being rights have already been snatched. That’s why we attach wonderful importance to the Golden Jubilee and thus remind persons about their aspirations that they liberated the country in 1971,” he said.
Fakhrul said their party’s definitive goal is to establish a truly democratic state and democratic contemporary society ensuring the equivalent rights of most by uniting people.
He said although nation liberated the country in 1971 through a good bloodstained struggle, Bangladesh now can't be said to be an unbiased state in true impression.
The BNP leader said Bangladeshis are regularly killed along the border by Indian Border Secureness Drive. “Such genocide along the border of any civilised region can’t continue.”
He said Bangladesh’s justified rights as an unbiased country aren't being ensured. “The current federal government is ensuring the advantages of the neighbouring countries by adopting a knee-jerk coverage. “But we’re struggling to solve the outstanding problems (with the neighbour).”
BNP standing up committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said their party will show the ‘genuine’ record of the Liberation War before the different generation by celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the indolence in a good befitting manner.
