| 2013-12-23 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] The BNP yesterday lambasted the government and the Election Commission for the move to deploy the army as strike force to ensure peaceful holding of the January 5 "farcical election", and alleged that it is a plot to leave the army pitted against the people. "We are surprised to see the news of deploying the patriotic army for the unilateral and farcical election," said BNP spokesperson Nazrul Islam Khan. Addressing a presser at the BNP chairperson's Gulshan office, he said the "incompetent" EC itself has taken a stand against the people as a tool of the government for fulfilling its desire. |
