Staff Reporter :
Jatiya Oikyafront Convener, also the President of Gonoforum, Dr Kamal Hossain claimed that the government has preparing again to stage a drama to rig votes in the elections to Dhaka north and South City Corporation.
He said this while speaking after a meeting with BNP’s Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) mayoral candidate Tabith Awal and Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) mayoral candidate Ishraque Hossain at his Motijheel chamber.
He said, “We saw in the past how the results were announced by destroying the election process. We fear that the government is preparing to stage the same drama this time, too.”
 “The government is also preparing to destroy democracy further with its various activities,” he alleged. Dr Kamal said, “If the government shamelessly destroys the elections, we must go ahead with the movement.”
He urged people to come forward and get united to establish their rights and save the country. The Oikyafront chief said, people must play a strong role in exercising their power and electing the representatives of their choice. “We must get united and strengthen the movement of people,” Dr Kamal said.
Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna said, our alliance’s senior leaders will participate in the electioneering of the two candidates. “We’ve decided to take part in the polls to unite people.” Manna urged people to put up a resistance if any one hatches conspiracy to snatch their voting rights.
BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Gonoforum Executive Presidents Professor Abu Sayeed, Subrata Chowdhury and Gonoshasthya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury were, among others, present at the meeting.
