Addressing a virtual press conference on Tuesday evening, he claimed that people were being forced to join the procession.
He said that instead of celebrating voting, people everywhere are surrounded by panic and apprehension.
Rizvi said that a stage election has been organized to show the so-called festival of voting to the democratic world. But those for whom this farce has been created are watching everything. None of this will work in the end.
Taking a strong dig at neighboring India, Rizvi said the neighboring country is known as one of the top instigators of this phased election. They want stability under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, not democracy in Bangladesh and rights of the people in this country. Now they have started expressing their wishes.
