Dhaka-10 by-polls and the govt
To defy the HC's order of deploying army at all polling centres was a pre-planned conspiracy (will not be wrong to say) of the ruling party to win the most important Dhaka-10 seat through rigging. First of all, the govt has violated the order of the HC which tarnishes the image of the judiciary and thus the government has proved that it has no respect for the highest judicial body. So, where the government can't respect the HC ruling which ensures every kind of justice, there the govt doesn't respect the common people of the country through whose mandate it has come to power; As a result, this government can do anything to cling to power whether it is legal or illegal and rigging through massive casting of false votes and most importantly humiliating the BDB's polling agents at the polling centres are clear manifestations of an unfair by-poll.
How can the govt can term this by-poll a fair one where most of the observers have found massive rigging?
