Ruling Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina wants to come into power by force, says Jatiya Oikya Front leader ASM Abdur Rab
“Suffering a defeat will be more honourable for Sheikh Hasina rather remaining power by force,” Rab on Monday (Dec 23).
Speaking to reporters at his Ramgati residence in Lakshmipur, Rab said, “They (AL) are now threatening Oikya Front activists, barring polls campaigns and vandalizing election offices as they become sure about their defeat (in Dec 30 polls).
“Oikya Front activists are being arrested in false cases,” he said.
Rab warned the government of consequences if the ongoing situation can’t be brought under control in the next 24 hours.
The president of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal claimed to carry out polls campaign defying ‘death threat’.
Rab said, “Awami League activists are threatening women to not come to voting centres as well as spreading propaganda.
“Even, they plan to oust the polling agents from centres and stuff ballot boxes in a bid to change the election results,” he said.
