BNP urged the voters on Friday to boycott the 12th general election and not to go to the polling centres on January 7.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi urge the people from a rally held in Karwanbazar.
 
The leaders and activists of the BNP and its associate bodies brought out procession with sticks demanding resignation of the government and cancellation of the scheduled election on Sunday.

BNP leaders and activists chanted various slogans against the government and the 12th general election.  

In a brief address after the procession, Rizvi said the government is trying to hold a unilateral election illegally by using the state machinery.

"The people of the country won accept this illegal election arranged by looters. We urge the people, including the leaders and workers of the BNP and like-minded opposition parties, to boycott the dummy election," he said.

He said their party is in favour of truth, justice, the freedom of expression and peoples voting rights while the ruling party is in favour of plundering, siphoning off money abroad and snatching peoples rights.

"The victory is inevitable for those of us who stand for justice."

On Thursday, the party announced the countrywide procession and mass contact programme for Friday in protest against the 12th parliamentary election.

The other like-minded opposition parties are also observing a similar programme on Friday, just two days before the election day.

The opposition parties will also enforce a 48-hour nationwide hartal from Saturday morning, which includes the voting day, to protest the 12th parliamentary election.
