Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda couldn’t stop the truth about the “midnight polls” from getting out, said BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
“The cat is out of the bag. The truth is starting to get out,” he told the media on Saturday (Mar 9) at the BNP headquarters in Naya Paltan.
“The CEC himself let the truth slip about the midnight election,” he said referring to the Dec 30 polls, which the BNP claims was rigged with ballot boxes being stuffed the night before.
“The CEC said that EVM use will reduce the risk of ballot boxes being stuffed the night before the polls,” Rizvi said and added that the nation will forever remember this statement.
Addressing election commission head, he said that they facilitated massive vote rigging on Dec 29 and that they will have to answer for it.
“You stripped people of their rights and today you and your colleagues are letting the truth slip,” Rizvi said to the CEC.
