BNP afraid of EVMs as it wants to grab polling stations: Hasan Mahmud

Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud today said the BNP is afraid of EVMs as it wants to sustain the bad culture of occupying polling stations and secretly sealing votes.

He said this while talking to reporters after inaugurating the Islamic banking services of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited at a hotel here.

Chaired by Dr Engineer Rashid Ahmed Chowdhury, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited, the function was addressed, among others, by bank’s managing director and CEO Tajul Islam.

Hasan said none can stay in power forcibly and nobody can assume power forcibly too.

Those who do politics for the welfare of people never think of capturing power, he said, adding that BNP founder Ziaur Rahman had assumed power forcibly as he seized power at gun point.

Mentioning that Zia formed BNP disseminating the wastage of power and he grabbed power, the minister said: “Our government is in power with the verdict of the people. We have formed the government after winning three consecutive times.”
