Tofail terms election as free, impartial
BHOLA, Dec 31, 2018 (BSS) – Awami League (AL) Advisory Council Member
Tofail Ahmed today termed the 11th parliamentary election as free, fair and
participatory.
“The 11th election was held in free and fair manner …Even the foreign
observers who visited different polling centres accepted the elections as
neutral and fair,” he said while talking to journalists at his residence
situated in Gazipur Road area of the district town this morning.
Tofail, also the Commerce Minister, said the win is not just a victory of
AL, but also a success of Bangabandhu and his daughter.
Mentioning that the world is praising Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina’s
dynamic leadership, he said the PM has established an unique example in the
world’s history by sheltering the Rohingya community who were forcibly
displaced from the their motherland Rakhine state of Myanmar.
“She dedicated herself to the humanitarian activities for the country’s
people…..she is also heading towards some specific goals for the betterment
of the countrymen of Bangladesh,” he added.
Tofail also said the people of Bangladesh have given the reward to their
PM through balloting and that is why AL won 259 parliamentary seats while BNP
got only 5.
Terming the Election Commission (EC) as successful, he said they did their
work effectively.
Talking about the youths of the country, he said Sheikh Hasina had been
able to attract young people in all the campaigns including talk show and
discussions just before the poll time.
“New voters voted for the power of independence instead of voting the
grenade attackers of 21st August,” he continued.
District AL General Secretary Abdul Momin Tulu, Sadar Upazila AL President
Md Mosharraf Hossain and District AL Organising Secretary Mainul Hossain
Biplob were also present on the occasion.
