Rizvi Urges People To Abstain From Voting

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi called for boycotting the upcoming 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) election for public interest.

"Boycott the election for public interest, for civil liberties and in the interest of basic freedom of the people," he said after distributing leaflets calling on people to boycott the elections and join BNP's non-cooperation movement in front of Uttara Rajuk Model College on Thursday (January 4).

"Don't push the country towards danger by forcing dummy and one-sided elections," he said to the government.

The BNP leader also said, "Power cannot be retained by cheating the people in this way."

He urged people from all walks of life to abstain from voting.
