Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur has said the aspirations people held before Aug 5 last year have not been fulfilled even 15 months later. Nur urged voters to treat the national election with “importance”, saying it will determine the direction and governance of Bangladesh in the coming years. Nur said Gono Odhikar Parishad has not yet joined any electoral alliance but will consider cooperating with political parties depending on their approach to state reform and national change. On extortion, Nur said: “Previously, leaders and activists of the Awami League and its allied organisations used to extort in the industrial sector. Yet some sponsors continue to support these criminals and extortionists to capture polling centres,” he added.
