Quader said though BNP candidates expressed satisfaction over the
election atmosphere and exercising of voting rights, the party’s
central leaders are making criticism only for criticism which is very
sad.
He said the voters of Basurhat municipality in Noakhali district
has replied to BNP’s falsehood over the country’s culture of polls.
BNP candidate in Basurhat municipality polls stated to the media
that the elections was held in a free and fair manner, he said urging
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to realize the talks
of his own party candidate and refrain from his habit of ‘beating
about the bush’.
Noting that there was massive eagerness in media as well as in
political arena centering the Basurhat municipality polls, the AL
general secretary said elections were held in a free, fair, peaceful
and participatory manner there.
He said the elections were held in EVM method for the first time in
Basurhat municipality and voter turnout was over 60 percent.
“Mirza Fakhrul ‘Saheb’ attacked him personally. Though I didn’t
reply to him, the voters of Basurhat replied to him for the attack
through their peaceful and spontaneous participation in the
elections,” he said.
He said many people dubbed the Basurhat as model for the holding of
transparent polls there.
“BNP loses before their defeat in the polls. They fear to take to
street as well as wage movement,” he said.
