Shaheed Islam Babar, Bandarban: BNP says Awami League came to power in 1996, 2008, 2014 and 2018, but these elections were not fair. But they came to power through fair elections in 1991 and 2001. Coming to power through bombings and killings has become a habit of BNP. But after Bangabandhu's murder, Ziaur Rahman shot people, stole the ballot boxes with motorcycles and sealed them himself and came to power with more than 100% votes. Ziaur Rahman voted yes or no with 600 votes instead of 500 votes. When BNP came to power in 2001, they came to power in my own area by breaking gates, vandalizing polling stations, occupying centers and beating people. They call it a fair election. That is, when BNP comes to power, it is a fair election, and when Awami League comes to power, it is a fraudulent election. Why will Awami League be responsible if BNP does not come to the election? BNP bombings, fights, riots, clashes,
