Rumin Farhana, Member of Parliament elected from Brahmanbaria-2 Constituency and former leader of BNP, raised questions about the transparency and participation of the 13th National Parliament election process. He said, if there was a free and fair election, the political reality of the country would have been different and the results would have been more acceptable.
He said this on Friday (April 17) while participating in German-based media Deutsche Welle (Bangla) talk show.
Rumin Farhana commented on the behavior of voters and political reality in the election.
He claimed that many voters reluctantly voted for BNP, mainly to prevent another party.
He also claimed that despite his protests from inside and outside the party, no effective change has come. As a result, a section of voters were forced to strategically vote for BNP.
When asked about the rumors of her joining the National Citizen Party (NCP) on the Deutsche Welle talk show, Rumin Farhana said, “It has no basis, it is a rumour.
There is not the least bit of truth to it. The talk or hype about joining NCP is baseless. According to him, after being expelled from BNP, various political parties naturally tried to communicate with him. The NCP has also urged him to join the party.
Rumin Farhana said, “After leaving BNP or being expelled from BNP, many other parties will definitely approach. NCP also did something in that continuity. They repeatedly said you come with us. Come let’s work together. You were on the field in July.
Your home has been vandalized. You are a frontliner. So you join us. I laughed at their approach. I didn’t talk about it.’
In response to the question whether joining the NCP will create more space for speaking in Parliament, Rumin Farhana said, ‘I will not join any alliance just for the opportunity to speak. There are numerous platforms for speaking, where I can speak. But it is not possible for me to give up my own political ideals, thoughts and plans and join a party just to get a chance to speak for two minutes in Parliament.
