BNP leader Zainul Abedin Farooq has alleged that several parties, including Jamaat, are conspiring to sabotage Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s proposed electoral roadmap under the pretext of introducing a proportional representation (PR) system. He said, “After 16 years, when Hasina has fled, some are now plotting to bring back fascism. Sheikh Hasina executed Jamaat leaders, yet today, under India’s agenda and her patronage, they are marching in Dhaka.” Farooq urged political allies to participate in the elections instead of derailing them. “The people of this country don’t care about PR. They will proudly cast their votes in the election declared by Dr. Yunus, not for any PR-appointed leader. They will vote for the Sheaf of Paddy and the Scales.” He further said, “If Dr. Yunus cannot contest the elections, only Allah knows what Bangladesh’s future will hold. Let us unite and build this country—we have achieved nothing in the past 55 years.”
