Saying that pictures taken by the media speak, he said thousands of pictures already exist on social media. “You can see pictures of dogs standing, lying and sunbathing in front of polling stations in the absence of voters.”
“Most of the polling stations were almost empty of voters. Therefore, our call for election boycott has definitely succeeded,” the BNP leader said.
He said that the last part of the election drama organized by the government is being staged from Sunday morning. “Interestingly, what we have been saying for a year that the people of Bangladesh have rejected this government, today it has been proved to everyone in the country because the people have boycotted the voting.”
The BNP leader said he found with surprise that the government had taken democracy to such a level in the last 10 years that hundreds of polling stations were empty during elections. “This is the reality of the ongoing farce in the name of Bangladesh’s 12th Parliament elections.”
Responding to a question, he said that they have received tremendous support from the people as they are running their movement against the government in a peaceful and democratic manner. “We will continue our movement together with the people in a peaceful manner.”
