‘PM mocking people by seeking vote after snatching voting rights’

BNP today alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is “mocking” people by seeking votes for her party after “snatching their right to vote”.

“It is nothing but mockery with the people by seeking vote from them by a prime minister who has snatched their voting right,” Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvisaid at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.

Rizvi alleged that the prime minister has clearly violated the electoral code of conduct by launching her electoral campaigning.

The Election Commission has announced schedules for Gazipur and Khulna city corporation polls just two days back and Hasina as the prime minister seeking vote for her party’s election symbol “boat”, will be a violation of the election code of conduct.

Referring to the prime minister's comment that seeking vote for her party is her political right, Rizvi questioned why Sheikh Hasina is not carrying out the campaign for her party as Awami League president to exercise such right.
