At a teachers’ roundtable, former MP Habibul Islam Habib accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government of having destroyed both the electoral process and the education system. He asserted that in the February election, “people will vote for whom they choose; there will be no more night-time voting.” Addressing teachers’ responsibilities, Habib recalled campaigning under the ruling party’s emblem during his tenure as MP and described alleged mistreatment he suffered in detention. He also pledged that, if re-elected, he would upgrade Patkelghata police station to an upazila.
