BSS, Dhaka :
Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said BNP’s prediction over the Dhaka city elections was wrong, claiming that the elections were held in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
“There was no unwanted situation during the city polls…there is no scope of vote rigging in using EVMs. Once the machine reads the finger of a voter, he or she can only give vote. Otherwise, nobody is able to give vote,” he said this on Friday while exchanging views with journalists in Pabna Circuit House.Blaming that BNP was responsible for low voter turnout in the Dhaka city polls, Hasan said BNP carried out propaganda ahead of the elections to mislead people, which contributed to low turnout of voters. “There was 30 percent of voter turnout in the Dhaka city elections. BNP’s prediction over the Dhaka city elections was wrong,” he said.
Hasan, also the Awami League joint general secretary, came down heavily on BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, saying as per Fakhrul’s remarks it seems that the government is running with the money of private companies.
He the government will take the additional money of public agencies, which is unused, aiming to bring discipline in the financial sector. AL Presidium Member Mohammed Nasim, Organising Secretary SM Kamal Hossain, and local lawmakers Golam Faruk Khandakar Prince (Pabna-5) and Ahmed Firoz Kabir (Pabna-2) were, among others, present.
