BNP Chairperson Tarique Rahman alleged that a political party is intimidating and misleading people to prevent them from voting freely. He made the remarks on Saturday during an election rally in Nilphamari district, emphasizing that any wrongdoing against voters would face legal action.

Rahman said that those who once deprived Bangladeshis of their right to vote and freedom of speech have fled the country, but one of their associates remains active domestically. He accused these groups of taking on different forms before and after the country’s independence and of now being involved in conspiracies in various places.

His comments come as part of the BNP’s campaign efforts, where he reiterated the party’s stance on protecting voters’ rights and ensuring accountability for any intimidation or manipulation during the election process.
