Staff Reporter :
The BNP on Tuesday expressed its frustration at the attacking incidents on their party men, even after the army deployment across the country.
“We regret that our party leaders and activists were attacked by ruling party men and police in 28 constituencies, injuring ours over a hundred people and 19 candidates, on Monday,” said BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan office.
He said, “On Monday huge violence erupted across the country by
ruling party and police. They have attacked the rallies and campaigns in favour of Sheaf of Paddy at different seats. The situation did not improve, even after the deployment of army.”
The BNP leader said, “We had a expectation that the situation would improve with their deployment. We call upon the army to take steps for ensuring a peaceful election atmosphere.”
He alleged that the situation had turned so worse as the police have started spraying bullets on BNP men. The BNP candidates who came under attack on Monday were Moudud Ahmed in Noakhali, Shaheed Uddin Chowdhury Annie in Lakshmipur, Abdul Moyeen Khan in Narsingdi, Hafizuddin Ahmed in Bhola, Miah Nuruddin Apu in Shariatpur, Sunsila Jabrin Priyanka in Sherpur and Akhtaruzzaman and Shariful Alam in Kishoreganj.
“The ruling party men are gradually getting desperate, and taking preparations to capture polling stations and rig votes’ in the December 30 general election, he said.
