Mosharraf warns against future poll influence
BNP Standing Committee Member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said his party would go for tougher movement if the government wants to influence the municipal elections in the remaining three divisions scheduled for January 17 and 18.
Addressing a rally at the city's Muktangan yesterday, the BNP leader alleged that the government had influenced the elections in Barisal seeing the overwhelming victory of the BNP supported candidates in Rajshahi division.
BNP backed candidates have done well in the municipalities of Rajshahi and Rangpur but only one BNP supported candidate won out of the 19 municipalities in Barisal division.
“BNP will give answers in a befitting manner taking the people of the country if the government wants to influence the elections in the municipalities of Dhaka, Sylhet and Chittagong divisions,” he said. Dhaka city unit BNP organised the rally demanding whereabouts and release of ward councillor Chowdhury Alam who has been missing for 200 days.
BNP says the law enforcement agency picked up the councillor of ward no 56 from his house and since then he has been missing.
She suspended police officers on that incident but did nothing when a Juba Dal leader was killed, said Mosharraf at the rally.
Presiding over the rally Dhaka City Mayor Sadek Hossain Khoka said the home minister and the officers in the administration will have to face trial if they fail to give the whereabouts of Alam.
