E-voting and BNP's stand

Recent news reports suggest that BNP is against the introduction of E-voting in the next general elections. One of the BNP's senior leaders has openly declared that if E-voting is introduced, his party will not take part in the next general election. They have become afraid of E-voting even before knowing the system. BNP's reaction is similar to the reaction of some people who do not even like machine readable passports. Present government is digitalizing everything and BNP is trying to pull us backward. The people of Bangladesh will not support BNP in this matter. I hope the BNP leadership will understand this and support the EC to introduce electronic voting system for free, fair and credible election in the country with participation of all.
