He also said if the January 5 type election happens the people will lose their faith on the poll system and democracy. Moreover, it will also help the rise of different communal groups.”Bribery-corruption-terrorism, grouping, disappearance, extrajudicial killings are going on, which attack the root of the state machinery. This situation can not be allowed to continue. The people must be united to achieve democracy, rule of law, right to fair elections,” he added.
