Dhaka: Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Sunday accused the BNP-led alliance of engaging in violence and carrying out bomb attacks realising imminent election defeat, reports the UNB.

‘The Jatiya Oikyafront lost its senses seeing huge public support for AL. Now, they are trying to trigger violence,’ he said after voting at Udayan Kindergarten polling centre in Basurhat municipality in the morning.

About 3,000 AL leaders and activists were injured until Saturday night but there is no report of injury from the opposition party, he claimed.

‘The election is being held peacefully except for some stray incidents,’ Quader said. ‘I believe the voting will end peacefully ... [and] the people’s expectation will be fulfilled.’

Quader said he would accept the election result. ‘I am 100 percent hopeful about the AL-led grand alliance’s victory,’ he said.
