On December 27, 2023, on Wednesday afternoon at Dhaka Reporters Unity, BNP Standing Committee member Dr. Abdul Moin Khan. In the said speech, he commented that the election on January 7 is going on as a 'jatrapala'. Today, in the name of the election, the 'buying and selling of candidates like a cow market' is going on. It's a shame. Nowhere in the world, seats are traded and shared so brazenly, I have never seen it. Today, the government is organizing a procession in the name of elections. And the Election Commission is playing the role of Yatra Party. No one will ever be able to perpetuate power by staging elections in the name of farce. The Nationalist Unity Alliance organized this discussion titled 'Demand for the restoration of democracy and the release of the country's leader, Begum Khaleda Zia, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, and all the royal prisoners'.
The main coordinator of the organizing coalition and the chairman of the National People's Party - NPP. Under the chairmanship of Fariduzzaman Farhad and General Secretary Mostafizur Rahman Mostafar, Jatiya Gontantric Party-JAGPA President Khandkar Lutfar Rahman, General Secretary Shahadat Hossain, Gana Dal Chairman Gana Dal Chairman ATM Golam Mawla Chowdhury, General Secretary Abu Syed, Alternative Dhara Bangladesh Chairman Professor Dr. Nurul Amin Bepari, Secretary General Advocate Shah Alam Badal, Communist Party Chairman Comrade Syed Dr. Nurul Islam, NDP Chairman Qari Abu Taher, Bangladesh NAP Chairman Shawon Sadeqi and others.
Moin Khan said, the government has lost the election ethics game today. They will not get 10 percent votes if there is a fair and impartial election. That is why they are afraid to hold elections under a non-partisan government. The government is trying to inspire courage with threats, but inside they are afraid.
Calling the people to boycott the election, he said, none of you will go to the polling station on January 7. The election has already been boycotted by the people. Because the results of the January 7 election have already been prepared. Who will get how many votes, how many percent of votes are there. As soon as the computer is tipped, it will move from district to district and the Election Commission will also publish the results. So besides boycotting the election, this government has to do all kinds of non-cooperation.
This BNP leader said, Awami League does not believe in politics. They believe in monarchy. They want to establish a monarchy. If you want to build a smart Bangladesh, then why do you want a monarchy? Government wants permanent power settlement.
Moin Khan said that 59 opposition political parties including BNP did not participate in the election. They have united to restore democracy, people's right to vote, fundamental rights in the country. For that reason, the movement continued on the streets. We do not sell. I do not believe in the words that the government should be overthrown by killing people with logs. The movement will continue in a democratic manner until the demands are met.
Highlighting the oppression of BNP leaders and activists, he said that 25,000 leaders and activists, including the BNP general secretary, have been arrested in the last two months. What is their crime? They have been arrested for conducting one-sided elections. In the last 15 years, 50 lakh activists have been accused in lakhs of cases. He also claimed that no other country in the world has been subjected to such torture on the opposition party.
In the speech of the president. Fariduzzaman Farhad said, this country is not Sheikh Hasina's or anyone's country alone. Bakshal and the first vote robbery in this country was done by his father. On January 7, the election will be held for boats, dummies, opposition and independent candidates of Awami League. Mr. Menon has been brokering for so long, and today Barisal has sent you. Same situation with Inu Sahib. Jatiya Party has been given 26 seats but it is doubtful whether it will win. Because here also the independent candidate of Awami League. They will be judged in the coming days. He urged everyone to come forward for the non-cooperation movement called by BNP.
At the end of the meeting, leaflets were distributed among the public in favor of the election boycott and non-cooperation movement with like-minded alliance leaders. Abdul Moin Khan.
