Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday urged the people to exercise their voting rights on Sunday’s election to prove that democracy prevails in Bangladesh “Go to polling stations and cast votes to foil conspiracies against the polls,” she said.

The AL chief was addressing a grand election rally at AKM Shamsuzzoha Krira Complex Ground in Fatullah under Narayanganj, her last public meeting ahead of January 7 parliamentary vote.

She said Bangladesh has witnessed a massive development due to the continuation of a democratic trend in the country.

The AL president asked all the people to maintain peace during the 12th parliamentary election slated for January 7 as many conspiracies were being hatched regarding this election.

“These plots still continue so that this election won’t be held,” she said.
Criticising BNP for unleashing violence, the PM said there is no humanity among them.

“They have not joined the election. It is their wish. But the people of this country would never accept the obstruction on voting rights,” she said.
Stressing that the election must be held on January 7, Hasina urged all to stay alert so that they (BNP) won’t destroy the public assets.

In the rally, the PM sought votes for her party-nominated candidates -Golam Dastagir Gazi (Narayanganj-1 constituency), Shamim Osman (Narayanganj-4), Nazrul Islam Babu (Narayanganj-2) and Abdullah Al Kaiser (Narayanganj-3)— in the January-7 election.
