Oikyafront convener and Gono Forum president Dr. Kamal Hossain said, we will decide what we will do if Election Commission (EC) does not take any steps within two or one day over their BKSAL attitude. We want army deployment within two days. But whatever will be the situation we will be in election till the end. We will not boycott the election even our dead bodies will go in the voting centers.

He said these to the newsmen after holding meeting with EC at the Election Commission office at Agargaon in the capital on Monday.

Dr. Kamal said, I was the electoral agent for Bangabandhu in 1970. At that time I did not see situation like this. My question to you, why you are watching campaign of one party and why not even poster of other parties is not seen? If you can see single poster of sheaf of paddy then inform me. I will be available there.

Earlier the Oikyafront leaders held meeting with EC.

In the meeting Dr. Kamal Hossain said, we have got the complains across the country. Attacks are being made on the candidates with muscle power. Attacks are being made on the people associated with election campaign. They cannot deliver speeches. A terror reign has been created. It is being done to discourage people who are running in election.

He also said, no poster of other parties except one party is seen. I have not seen such in my life. Only one party is on field but others cannot. I will continuously say this as long as I survive. I will say this in front you and people. I will demand remedy. I will say about the voting rights of people.

The meeting was presided over by Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda where other Election Commissioners and Election Commission Secretary were present. Apart from Dr. Kamal Hossain, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan, Krishak Shramik Janata League president Kader Siddique, JSD president ASM Abdur Rab, Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna among others were also present in the meeting.
