Fair election system sent to museum: BNP
The government has sent free and fair election system to the museum by holding "unilateral" polls, alleged BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi yesterday. "Candidates who can buy the 'boat' (AL's election symbol) symbol at a higher price, get a sure chance to make fortune. Getting a boat symbol means getting elected under the current election system," he said.
The BNP leader said, "Awami League has now turned into a vote-rigging league by sending the free and fair election system of Bangladesh to the museum."
He made the remarks at a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan central office on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the 10th parliamentary election day, which he termed a "stigmatised day".
As part of its countrywide programmes, BNP hoisted black flags at its offices while party leaders and activists wore black badges as a protest against the election.
Rizvi alleged that the government has deprived people of their right to vote by holding a "unilateral" election without the participation of voters on January 5, 2014. "People's right to exercise their franchise freely has been destroyed...," he observed.
He alleged that Awami League has indulged in vote robbery in every election over the last one decade.
In fact, Rizvi said the Election Commission and AL had defeated people, the owner of the country, through their misdeeds centring the election.
Rizvi that the last three national elections were held implementing a deep-rooted conspiracy of both local and international actors.
