Maulana Mamunul Haque, Ameer of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis, addressed a roadside rally in Gopalganj on Monday, warning against any attempt to manipulate the upcoming national election. He alleged that efforts were underway to prepare fake voter lists including names of deceased and absentee voters. Haque urged supporters to build symbolic barriers near polling centers to prevent fraudulent voting and to hand over any suspected offenders to law enforcement.

He called on the administration and the Election Commission to ensure a level playing field, claiming that intimidation and violence were being used to obstruct the momentum of the 11-party electoral alliance. Haque emphasized that the alliance was formed not for individual gain but to restore the rights of Bangladesh’s 180 million citizens and end political exploitation.

Haque described February 12 as a historic election day, when both the national election and a referendum would be held simultaneously, and urged citizens to vote “yes” for change.
