He made the comments two hours after BNP supporters clashed violently with the police on the third day of the party’s nomination form sale, in front of their headquarters at Naya Paltan in Dhaka on Wednesday.
“The government is out to spoil the electoral environment by creating such a situation," he said before a pre-scheduled meeting between the Jatiya Oikya Front and the Election Commission.
He strongly condemned the incident and blamed the law enforcement agencies for the attack.
The Oikya Front leader urged the government to bring back a favourable atmosphere for the election.
