Voting for the Chittagong City Corporation elections continues with sporadic clashes and shootings. At the beginning of the vote, the heat has also spread in parliament.
The issue of the elections came up in the discussion on the drafting of the law in parliament on Wednesday.
When BNP MP Harunur Rashid raised the question of voting during the passage of a bill, the justice minister and members of the Jatiya Party responded.
BNP’s Harunur Rashid proposed to check public opinion on the bill during the passage of ‘The Civil Courts (Amendment) -2021’ in Parliament.
At the time, he said, the constitution said that elected representatives at all levels would lead the administration. But what is happening today? Jokes are made in the name of elections. Being a sham. It is not necessary. From the morning we have seen what is happening in the elections of the Chittagong City Corporation.
Deputy Harun added that there was no need for such a vote. That the law be modified. The Prime Minister will appoint whoever he wants. They will take responsibility. There is no need for charade in the name of voting.
When the ruling party members protested at the time, Harun said: ‘I am not telling any lies. I’m claiming to know the information. ‘
Later, the Minister of Justice, Anisul Haque, after responding to the proposals of other members for public opinion polls, said: “Those of us who are here were not born yesterday.” They are talking about elections. We saw the ‘yes-no’ vote during the time of Ziaur Rahman. I watched the elections on February 15th. The urns could not be found. There are no ballot boxes to vote.
He said there is no need to learn from those of this character how to make the choice smooth. I have returned the right to vote to the people.
Later, while raising the amendment proposal, Rumin Farhana, a member of the BNP’s reserved seat, said that the administration had voted. And people see. Only if the vote is fair. You don’t have to learn to vote from anyone. Everyone knows how to vote. You just have to vote.
In response to Harun’s remarks, Mujibul Haque Chunnu of the Jatiya Party said that the municipal elections in his area were “very fair.”
Pir Fazlur Rahman said: “The rebel BNP candidate won at Jagannathpur from Sunamganj. The BNP candidates have also told the BBC that the election was very beautiful. “
Shamim Haider Patwari of the Jatiya Party said: “74% of the votes were cast in my municipality. The plow has won. If everyone agrees, the vote will be fair.”
Later, in raising the proposed amendment, Harun said, he now sees that officers have been expelled from many centers in Chittagong. Media workers do not receive passes. If you want, I can show it on the phone now.
In response to the proposed amendment, the law minister said: “I did not know when or where the voting would take place during the BNP rule.” What were the February 15 elections? How many people won by getting votes.
Voting on the electronic voting machine (EVM) began at 8 a.m. Wednesday at 635 Chittagong city centers and will continue until 4 p.m.
Clashes broke out between supporters of the Awami League, BNP and rebel council candidates in the city’s Lalkhanbazar district in the early hours of the morning. At least 21 people from all three sides were injured.
There were also clashes and shootings between supporters of the Awami League-backed councilman candidate and the rebel candidate at the Yousuf Ambagan Technical School in Pahartali Ward 13. A young man named Alauddin was shot dead at the time.
