Rumin Farhana: NCP Won’t Win a Single Seat in Fair Elections

Staff Reporter

BNP’s Central Co-International Affairs Secretary Advocate Rumin Farhana hinted at the NCP, stating that if free and fair elections are held in the country, some political parties won’t secure even a single seat.

She also commented that there is a tendency among many advisers of the interim government to prolong the election.

Rumin Farhana made these remarks while participating in a talk show on a private television channel recently.

She said, “There are 22 advisers in the government. It may not be realistic to expect that all of them will willingly give up their protocols, privileges, and comfortable lifestyles. Rather, many of them would want this government to continue for a while longer.”

She added, “Not just the advisers, some political parties also support extending the government’s tenure. If the election time approaches, their reality will become harsh.”zASDFG5HK;-‘|z

While commenting on “some parties,” Rumin said they know that if a truly fair election is held, it would be impossible for them to win even one or two seats. Yet, they continue making loud statements. Even if one of their leaders claims to be ready for 400 seats instead of 300, it becomes news in the media!

Referring to National Citizen’s Party (NCP) leader Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu’s statement—that BNP would at best secure 100 seats—Rumin said they always speak forcefully. But people now laugh at such remarks. The media operates under various pressures and is not truly independent. The media always looks for the king’s party. Now they consider NCP as the king’s party. No matter how ridiculous their statements are, they get discussed.

Responding to NCP’s allegation that the interim government is pro-BNP, Rumin said, “If they don’t say this, their existence won’t be justified. Today, we are talking about a party that sees 20 people on stage and 20 cameras in front at their rallies. This is a big achievement for them. Even those who don’t have two votes of their own are getting airtime—this is the reality.”
