THE SATURDAY INTERVIEW - Sheikh Hasina
Are you trying to say that there was no rigging in this election?
Of course attempts were made. But people resisted that. A presiding officer and seven others were caught red handed by people in Tangail’s Bhuapur area while stamping on BNP’s poll symbol ~ paddy sheaf. People only handed them over to the police. In Chittagong a relation of one of our rival candidates was also caught red-handed for distributing Taka 41 lakh among voters. Similar incidents happened elsewhere too but our voters were extremely watchful. This awareness among our voters has helped to strengthen our democracy. This time bogus voters could not have a field day because our electoral roll has photographs of voters alongside their names.
