The election environment has been disrupted since Tuesday, Nahid said, adding that female activists of the 11-party alliance are being harassed and attacked across the country.

Two NCP candidates contesting in Dhaka-18 and Dhaka-8 were attacked and harassed, he said.

Attempts are underway to establish dominance through muscle power and to create an atmosphere of terror around the election.

“They have little confidence in the people. A massive wave of public support has risen in favour of the 11-party alliance. That is why they are trying to obstruct the election through terror and force.”

Despite filing complaints with the Election Commission and law enforcement agencies, they have received no remedy.

“We have repeatedly warned that if this situation continues, the election will become one-sided, and the people’s true verdict will not be reflected.”

If such incidents are not stopped now, there would no longer be a suitable environment for the election.

Promising to address local problems, Nahid told voters: “We want real change in Bangladesh. There will be reforms. We will be able to establish a state free from corruption and discrimination.”
