Awami League Secretary General Obaidul Quader on Thursday also revealed a plan to guard the polling stations alleging that the BNP had brought a “huge” number of outsiders, including “marked criminals”, to foil the elections by creating chaos.
But BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir condemned Quader’s comments as “provocative”.
The BNP had rejected the results of the general election alleging ballot box stuffing on the eve of vote. This time it fears the government will rig votes through the electronic voting machines or EVMs in collusion with the Election Commission.
