Cruel joke with people's voting right

Our honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina often takes great pride in her so-called restoration of the voting right of the common people through the 15th amendment to the constitution. Now when we see that about 50 million voters out of a total of 91.9 million have been deprived of their voting rights and that as many as 154 candidates have been elected uncontested in the upcoming 10th JS polls, apparently as a consequence of the incumbent PM's unilateral decision of abolishing the CTG provisions through the controversial constitutional amendment in question, her assertion of restoring people's voting right sounds like a cruel joke to us.
