“There muscle power and money were used freely to capture polling centres,” he said.

Regarding the third type of election, the opposition leader said that it was alleged by his party men.

“Thr result was pre-determined and the sheet was made in advance,” he said.

MPs from the treasury bench and the Independent MPs were seen making hue and cry at that time. He gave a smile and said, “That might not happen.”

Quader said that when all the parties come to election and vote without any hindrance, even if casting of 15 percent vote is acceptable.

“If all major parties including Awami League and the BNP participate in the election, they will get 90-95 percent votes at this moment. Participatory elections are difficult unless Awami League and BNP come together,” he said.

Talking about the 42 percent vote in the last election, he said that considering the scenario, if casting is 42 percent, there should be an eight-hour queue in front of all the polling centres.

“But it did not happen,” he said amid huge uproar from the AL MPs.

Quader said that the 12th national elections could be considered as valid in line with the constitution and existing laws.

“It is legally valid. No one declared illegal. But the vast majority of people feel that it is not well defined, and it does not accurately reflect public opinion,” he said.

He said that laws are widely violated during election time.

“Those who were supposed to look after these issues avoided and also assisted to breach in some cases,” he said.

He apprehended that after this election, apart from Awami League, all the other parties that are connected with people will be able to survive with their own policy ideals.

“I fear that politics is now heading towards an uncertain future,” he said.

He mentioned that corruption has “flooded the country” and It has been going on for quite some time.

“No work is done without corruption. It is the curse for every society. Suffering increases due to the continuous corruption. It hinders the development of the society,” he said.

At this stage the opposition leader quoted a statement of the Minister of Local Government.

Regarding journalist couple Sagar-Runi murder, Quader mentioned it as an example of injustice and said that the statements of the government officials in this regard may encourage delaying the investigation. He advised to be careful about this.

He complained that these businessmen are directly or indirectly involved in the policy making of the government.

He also said that the government is a hostage in their hands “because it has no other options.”
