CEC not allowing Armed Forces to work independently, alleges BNP
Dhaka, Dec 28 (UNB) – BNP on Friday alleged that Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda is not allowing Armed Forces to work independently.
“Law enforcers and ruling party cadres obstructed the processions of Sheaf of Paddy at different parts of the country yesterday (Thursday). They’re forcing BNP candidates’ agents and their supporters to leave their areas. A scary situation has been prevailing everywhere as armed Awami League cadres are staging showdown at every village,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Speaking at a press conference at party’s Nayapaltan central office, he further said, “The Chief Election Commissioner has tied up the army after rolling them out in the field. They’re not allowed to work independently. Everything is happening under the supervision of the Chief Election Commissioner at the behest of the Prime Minister.”
Reacting to Thursday’s remarks of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that BNP is planning to unleash acts of sabotage sensing its defeat in the election, Rizvi said, “Awami League has its own training centre for anarchy. The ruling party and the government are the safe haven of terrorism.”
