Information Minister and Awami League joint general secretary. Hasan Mahmud said, BNP has participated in various elections before but was not in the field, similarly they were not in the field in Chittagong elections.
But what BNP leaders Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and Rahul Kabir Rizvi said at the press conference, they said to protect their face after losing, and as always, if they lose the election, the BNP's habit is to bend the yard if they don't know how to dance," the minister said.
He said this in response to various questions of journalists about the city corporation election at his residence in Chittagong metropolis at 7 pm on Wednesday.
Dr. Hasan Mahmud said, "BNP held a press conference during the election. Just before the election, Amir Khasru Mahmud held a press conference in Chittagong and Rizvi Ahmed in Dhaka and raised various questions. We already knew that they participated in the election to raise all these questions." They present these questions in all elections and always sit with the complaint box open.
Highlighting the previous election data of Chittagong city said. Hasan said the BNP has not won any vote here since 1994. Mr. Manjurul Alam was once elected on behalf of the BNP. In fact, Manjurul Alam Manju is a man of Awami League, he went to BNP to play for rent. Since he has been in the Awami League for a long time, many people in the Awami League have worked for him, that's why he won. But he has returned to the Awami League. So the BNP has not won any election in the city since '94.
Noting that there is no discriminatory provision of the Election Commission of Bangladesh in any of the neighboring countries, the Information Minister said that the Election Commission has made such a rule in Bangladesh that no MP can run any campaign or do anything. While I was born, raised and started my politics in this city, my political life started as a procession worker of Jamal Khan Ward Chhatra League in this city, I was also the Education and Reading Secretary of Chittagong Metropolitan Chhatra League. Despite having important responsibilities in the party, we have not been able to play any role in this election. There is no such discriminatory provision in any of the neighboring countries including India. MPs can campaign in other countries, including England and Continental Europe. But in our country can not. There is nothing we can do but look at it, I think it is a strange and discriminatory provision for the ruling party.
Mentioning that BNP has committed terrorism in Chittagong City Corporation election. Hasan Mahmud said two Awami League activists were injured in a BNP attack on the Pahartali USEP center in the city and an Awami League activist was killed at the Ambagan center. The EVM machine was broken in the attack of BNP in Patharghata center. The BNP has intimidated minority voters in the Dewanbazar constituency. An Awami League activist agent is still missing at the Laboratory School Center. At Lalkhan Bazar Kendra, Nagar attacked the son of the Awami League's publicity secretary and bled to death, injuring five others. Five people, including a Juba League activist, were injured in a BNP attack on Chandvi's Maulvi Pukur Par Kendra and an Awami League activist named Abhijit was shot dead. Juba League activist Solaiman was injured in a BNP attack at Kazem Ali School Center.
