His comment came 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.

BNP supporters led by Mirza Abbas attacked the police without any provocation, Quader alleged at a news conference at the party’s Dhanmondi office.

Thirteen members of the police were seriously injured in the attack and several police vehicles were set on fire, he said.

“They plotted the attack. The BNP has been hatching a conspiracy to foil the election. As part of that conspiracy, they attacked the police. "

The AL leader said conspiracies will not be able to stop the polls.
