UNB, Dhaka :BNP on Thursday alleged that the government is going to stage a showdown of re-establishing one-party ‘Baksal’ rule in the name of holding the Union Parishad(UP) polls along party line.”The UP election is nothing, but a showdown of re-establishing Baksal rule in a different style. That’s why they (govt) are holding the polls along party line to unilaterally grab UP chairman posts,” said BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. He came up with the allegation while speaking at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.The BNP leader alleged that the ruling party men are snatching the nomination papers of their party candidates and attacking and harassing their leaders and activists at different parts of the country to hold a lopsided election.He also observed that placing a chargesheet against BNP chairperson in a false case as well as issuing a summon against her by a court and creating a debate by filing cases against The Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam are the parts of the government’s evil efforts to divert people’s attention to a different direction from the ruling party’s terrorist acts centring the UP polls.
