National Citizen Party spokesperson Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan yesterday alleged widespread post-election violence across the country, accusing BNP activists of involvement.
He said BNP leaders have remained silent over the incidents, which he claimed suggests their earlier movement was merely eyewash intended to influence public perception ahead of the polls.
He made the remarks last evening at Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital after visiting those injured in clashes on election day and in the days that followed.
Asif alleged that assaults on voters, vandalism of homes, and looting of cash and valuables were reported from different parts of the country. In one instance, he claimed, an individual was killed for voting in favour of an independent candidate.
He said they had expected firm directives to restrain party activists, along with announcements of disciplinary action against those involved.
However, no visible punitive measures have yet been taken in connection with the incidents, he alleged.
He demanded a clear statement from the BNP outlining what action it will take against any party members found responsible for the violence.
