BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the Election Commission did not need a fair vote. The CEC (Chief Election Commissioner) will train some people - it needs money to be allocated, it needs money to buy fraudulent machines like EVMs. This money will be squandered by the CEC and its close associates. The CEC is engaged in this work.
He was speaking at a prayer meeting on the ground floor of the BNP's central office in Naya Paltan on Tuesday on the occasion of the 6th death anniversary of Khaleda Zia's youngest son Arafat Rahman Koko and former president of Newmarket Thana and 52 Ward Chhatra Dal Mahbubur Rahman Bappi.
Rizvi said the country's intellectuals have filed a petition with the President against the CEC. They said, "Let this man be removed, this man is corrupt, this man has destroyed democracy, this man has buried fair elections in the graveyard." It must be omitted. But KM Nurul Huda does not want to be left out. And the Awami government thinks that such a big slave, such a big slave will never be found again.
Complaining that a case has been filed against one thousand BNP leaders and activists in the Chittagong city elections, he said 69 leaders and activists of the BNP have already been picked up by the law enforcement agencies in the Chittagong city elections. 20 leaders and activists have been arrested. But no one from the Awami League was arrested, no case was filed against any of them. In fact, he did not create any level playing field for the election as the Chief Election Commissioner has sold his soul.
Habibur Rashid Habib, senior joint general secretary of Mahanagar Dakshin BNP, central leader Sheikh Rabiul Alam Robi, Fazlur Rahman Khokon, president of Chhatra Dal and Saif Mahmud Jewel, organizing secretary of Chhatra Dal were present at the prayer mahfil under the chairmanship of former president Khandaker Enamul Haque Enam and general secretary Gias Uddin Manik. Bappi's sister Jhumur spoke.
