Nazrul Islam said, "The people do not want this election. The people won't go to vote. That is why they are putting up dummy candidates from their own party to contest in the election. The way the candidates are being nominated, it is obvious to everyone, who will become the MPs."

The leader said that Khaleda Zia has been detained and treated inhumanly.
