Awami League Publicity and Publications Secretary Hasan Mahmud yesterday said the BNP members were trying hard to make the upcoming city corporation polls controversial after being confirmed that they would be defeated.
“In the city elections, people will show red cards to the candidates of the party that hurled petrol bombs. It is the voters who will decide whether strikes, blockade and petrol bomb attacks will continue and flags will fly in the cars of war criminals,” he said while addressing a human chain in front of National Press Club in the capital.
Awami Muktijoddha Projonmo League organised the human chain against the strike called by Jamaat-e-Islami in protest at the execution of Muhammad Kamaruzzaman for crimes against humanity.
“Residents of Dhaka and Chittagong will not vote for the candidates backed by the BNP-Jamaat alliance as its members were responsible for the mayhem the country had witnessed in the last three months. Activists of the alliance attacked people with petrol bombs in the name of agitations,” Hasan said.
