Sheikh Hasina's son's claim: After the upcoming elections in Bangladesh, there will be a threat to India

Kathmandu. Sajeev Wajed, the son of Bangladesh's ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has expressed his suspicion that the general election to be held on February 12 will be rigged. He, who is in the US, said on Monday evening during a book review in Kolkata through video conferencing, "Awami League has been kept out of this election, it is actually a two-party competition. All progressive parties are being suppressed. This is not really an election.

He has also claimed that 'Jamaat-e-Islami will get freedom after this election, terrorism will increase and India will be threatened'. He further said, "Pakistan will get concession in Bangladesh and it will have serious consequences." Sajeev also commented that the current government of Bangladesh has allowed postal voting which was never done before. 

He said, "You can easily see the tampering in the ordinary ballot paper but you cannot see anything in the postal ballot paper." That's it, you have to believe the data given by the Election Commission.
