BNP says Bangladesh to witness no general election on Jan 7

Desk News ::The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Thursday alleged that the country would witness no general election on January 7 but she would see announcement of pre-determined results, set in Dhaka through seat sharing, on the day.

BNP standing committee member Abdul Moyeen Khan made the allegation while talking to reporters before paying tribute to martyred intellectuals at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial at Mirpur in Dhaka in the morning.

Over 100 leaders and activists of the main opposition party accompanied the BNP senior leader there.

He said that it had become clear to the country’s people that no election would be held on January 7.

The BNP leader said that a confrontational situation was created in the country’s politics due to lack of democracy and absence of people’s right to vote.

He questioned whether the intellectuals sacrificed their lives for this Bangladesh on December 14, 1971.

‘Lakhs of people sacrificed their lives in the War of Independence for a single cause. It is to create an independent country where there will be democracy. But there is no democracy in the country now. There is no voting rights. People don’t have freedom of speech. One-party rule has been established here. People can’t stay in the house at night. People are disappearing. Political opponents are being killed,’ he alleged.
