BNP candidate for Laxmipur-3 constituency Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee has said his party should quit the Dec 30 election and he would welcome if the party does so.
Anee alleged that Awami League activists along will members of law enforcement agencies are engaged in carrying out terrorist activities in his electoral area.
He said, “I could not carry out electioneering in my area. Under this situation, I informed my party that I would welcome its decision if it quits the polls.”
“I will welcome if the election coordination committee of my party quits the polls as there is no atmosphere for the election in the country,” said Anee, who is the BNP’s publicity affairs secretary.
On Monday, Anee came under attack in Shantirhat area of the district's Sadar Upazila that left 30 people injured.
“My party men are being attacked. Even their residences are also being vandalised. The returning officer is not picking up my phone call,” he said.
The congenial atmosphere is totally absent in the area for holding the election in a free, fair and credible manner, the BNP leader said.
