BNP leaders and activists have been arriving at the party's Nayapaltan headquarters since morning to take part in the grand rally set to start at 2:00pm
Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal today said that the stubborn stance of the two major political parties on the next general election is dangerous for the country.
Even though the Faridpur district is almost cut off from the rest of the country, thousands of BNP leaders and activists from nearby districts have been pouring in since Thursday to stage a massive rally today in the Awami League stronghold.
The Election Commission has said that it is actively considering the installation of CCTV cameras at polling stations for the transparency of elections and also reviewing the matter of using electronic voting machines (EVMs).
The recent statements by the Awami League high-ups that electronic voting machines will be used in all constituencies in the next general election have triggered a fresh debate, as the BNP vehemently opposes it while the Election Commission remains undecided.
