Khaleda wanted army to win her NCC polls: Hasina

---

Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina has said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia wanted army's help for her party to win the Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) elections by 'snatching votes', reports bdnews24.com. Responding to the main opposition's criticism for non-deployment of army in NCC polls, the AL chief said Thursday, "What happened in Narayanganj that army was needed (for the election)?" Asserting that "nothing was wrong there (Narayanganj)", she added, "The Election Commission sent a letter for army deployment. But the commission did not invite the army to their meeting on law and order situation in Narayanganj." Hasina said, "She (Khaleda) hoped the army will snatch votes for their victory. Is it army's duty to steal votes?"
