Nobody would be able to foil the January 5 polls and Sheikh Hasina would become the country’s prime minister for the third term, said leaders of the Awami League-led 14 party alliance yesterday.
At a rally in front of the Awami League headquarters yesterday, the leaders also urged the opposition to stop killing and burning people and warned that otherwise the government would take the necessary measures.
The rally was organised to protest the violent activities of the BNP-led opposition alliance and the censure motion passed in Pakistan parliament regarding the execution of war criminal Quader Molla.
Awami League Advisory Council member Amir Hossain Amu said the opposition movement was against the constitution and the country’s sovereignty.
“If Khaleda Zia continues her movement to save the war criminals, she may be convicted as an associate to them,” he said.
Hasanul Haque Inu, president of ruling government ally Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, said: “If you [Khaleda Zia] miss the train of Bangladesh, you must be sent to Afghanistan or Pakistan.”
Pointing at the countries and foreign organisations, who confirmed not sending observers to the polls, Rashed Khan Menon, president of the Workers Party of Bangladesh, said: “We do not need any observer. The people of Bangladesh are enough. They will observe the polls.”
