BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi speaking at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office in the city on Monday — Focus Bangla A BNP senior leader alleged on Monday the much-delayed DUCSU polls were stigmatised with overnight stuffing of ballot boxes, that happened on the night of December 29, right before the national election, reports UNB.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi made the remarks while speaking at a press conference at the party's central office in the city.
He also alleged Dhaka University authorities have been working to ensure the victory of ruling party's student body Bangladesh Chhatra League in the polls.
"The university authorities couldn't come out of the culture of midnight voting initiated on December 29. DUCSU elections 'got tainted with the stuffing of ballot boxes since a sack of stamped ballots were found at Kuwait Maitree Hal," the BNP leader said.
He further said, "People are in doubt whether the DUCSU polls are being held as per the government's blueprint. The university has so far been taking all the steps to ensure the victory of Chhatra League in an illegal manner."
The voting in the long overdue election to Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) and its hall unions began at 8:00 am in the morning. The last election to DUCSU was held on July 6, 1990.
In the last 28 years, the Dhaka University students could not cast their votes for selecting their representatives as the election process was halted.
Rizvi alleged they have information that police are playing a negative role on the campus so that common students and supporters of opposition student organisations cannot cast their votes.
"Chhatra League cadres are staging showdowns at different halls as they brought those under their control terrorising general students."
