I am feeling insecure: Mirza Abbas

BNP nominated candidate for Dhaka-8 constituency in the upcoming general election Mirza Abbas has alleged that he is feeling insecure as law enforcement agencies are roaming in front of his house.

He said these at a press conference at his Shahjahanpur residence in the capital on Tuesday.

Mirza Abbas said, I am feeling insecure. Sometimes plain clothes people and sometimes uniformed police are roaming in front of my house from Monday. In this circumstance I am feeling acute insecure. Not only that I am panicked and mentally distressed.

He said, nobody even my relatives and leaders-activists cannot come to my house. From yesterday to till at present 20 to 25 leaders and activists were arrested from my electoral area.

Alleging his electoral campaigns are being hindered he said, my election competitor is campaigning openly but I am barred from that. In this situation I am feeling unsafe.

Mirza Abbas alleged that BNP candidate in Dhaka-9 Afroza Abbas is also being barred from campaign in different way and said, same attitude is being shown to my wife.

The BNP leader raised question, it is alright that we are politically competitors against somebody, but we are not opponents of anybody. Then why this attitude is being shown to us?

Mirza Abbas said, the government does not want that BNP remains in voting. It was said by the Election Commission even by the government that there will be no case or arrest. But after declaring the election schedule 150 mysterious cases were filed against party leaders and activists in my area. Three thousand and five hundred leaders-activists were accused. Two hundred workers were arrested. At present three thousand leaders and activists of mine are in jail.

Demanding release of the leaders-activists Mirza Abbas said, I do not understand why police are showing attitudes against me. The facilities that police were given during BNP rule, I gave those. I have managed the land of present police complex. At that time he requested police to become employees of people by not becoming employees of Awami League.
