Gono Odhikar Parishad’s central general secretary Rashed Khan has alleged that a plan is underway to assassinate 50 election candidates in an attempt to derail the upcoming national polls in Bangladesh. Speaking at a campaign rally in Jhenaidah’s Goalpra Bazar on December 8, Khan claimed that the ruling Awami League is behind the alleged conspiracy to carry out targeted killings aimed at sabotaging the February elections.
Khan emphasized that ensuring the safety of all candidates is the government’s responsibility and warned that any attack on contestants would be the government’s liability. He further stated that BNP leader Tarique Rahman is expected to return to Bangladesh after the election schedule is announced, asserting that his security is of national importance. Responding to questions about the purchase of a bulletproof vehicle for Rahman, Khan defended the move as a necessary precaution.
The allegations have sparked political tension ahead of the polls, with opposition parties demanding stronger security measures. Authorities have not yet issued an official response to Khan’s claims.
