Urging the countrymen to be cautious so that BNP cannot thwart the upcoming national election through any evil move, Prime Minister and Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina today (October 14) said the election will be held on time and the people will exercise their voting rights freely.
 
"Election will be held in this country at any cost, and people will cast their votes freely," she said.

The premier said this while addressing a grand rally organized by the AL Dhaka North City at Civil Aviation Field in the capital city's Kawla area.
 
She said, "They (BNP) know it very well that if there is an election, votes will be cast for 'Boat', AL will come in the power, development of the country will be expedited further, and that is why BNP wants to foil the election and snatch away the voting rights of the people."
 
Mentioning that BNP is in dilemma whether they will participate in the next election, the AL chief questioned, "It is natural. Who is their leader to participate in the election? Who will be their Prime Minister? Is that the corrupt absconding criminal or the embezzler of orphans' money?"
 
The premier alleged that BNP is trying to foil the next general election for this reason. "I will request all of you (the countrymen) to remain vigilant so they (BNP) cannot do that," she added.
 
PM Sheikh Hasina said that if the looters, corrupt, killers, dacoits and thieves like the BNP come to power they will just destroy the country.
