AL conspiring to rig votes again, alleges BNP

BNP senior leader Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury on Wednesday alleged that Awami League has been conspiring to rig votes again in the next election using the state machinery.

“Awami League is conspiring against people. They’re hatching a plot to snatch people’s voting rights again and rig votes in the upcoming (general) election,” he said.

Speaking at a rally, the BNP leader also said the ruling party has been trying hard to hang onto power by regulating the judiciary, gaging the media and using government officials.

“All the vote thieves have joined hands to manipulate the election while people are getting united to resist them,” he observed.

As part of their party’s second phase of countrywide programmes, Chattogram south district unit BNP arranged the rally in Karnafuli CDA residential field on the south side of Shah Amanat Bridge demanding Begum Khaleda Zia’s advanced treatment abroad.

Khosru, a BNP standing committee member, said the people of Bangladesh have been closely observing the election manipulators and vote robbers.

“The wave of movement that has created now will foil all plots and evil plans. Those who’ve been involved in the conspiracy against people won’t be spared. No one of those who’re snatching our constitutional and basic rights will be spared,” he warned.
