Fear of violence affected voting

My family and I were ready to cast our votes at Banani. Our spirit was running high as we made it a point to resist war criminals and their allies through ballot. However, at the last moment my mother requested us not to go for fear of violence or attack. I believe mine was not the only case. If you ask people at least in 50% cases you would find the same reason that they did not vote.
