The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has accused Jamaat-e-Islami of engaging in widespread violence, vote center occupation, vote rigging, and illegal money distribution ahead of the national election. At a press conference held Wednesday night at the BNP Election Steering Committee office in Gulshan, BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan described these actions as deeply disappointing and urged party members and citizens to guard polling centers and ensure fair voting.

Nazrul Islam Khan presented multiple incidents from across the country, including arrests of Jamaat leaders with large sums of money, allegations of bribing voters, attempts to seize polling stations, and acts of intimidation and violence. He emphasized BNP’s demand for a free, fair, and neutral election and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to restoring democratic rights and implementing its declared political pledges.

BNP spokesperson Mahdi Amin added that despite reports of misconduct, public enthusiasm for voting remains high, expressing confidence in BNP’s victory and calling for continued vigilance against electoral irregularities.
