Nahid Islam, convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and a candidate for the Dhaka-11 constituency under the Shapla Koli symbol, has alleged that India is once again interfering in Bangladesh’s election process. He claimed that Indian diplomats have been making various unwarranted remarks and said India had supported what he described as vote-rigging elections by the Awami League in the past and was attempting similar interference this time. Nahid made the remarks on Wednesday while campaigning and carrying out public outreach in the Malibagh area of the capital. In addition, he said the Election Commission was damaging the electoral environment by allowing loan defaulters and dual citizens to contest the election. Earlier in the day, Nahid took part in a women voters’ rally in the Matir Mosque area.
