News India Live, Digital Desk: This time the fight for power in Bangladesh is not limited to votes only, but a frightening chapter of violence has been added to it. According to the latest data, there was an atmosphere of lawlessness across the country during the election period, in which serious incidents like murder and sexual violence have attracted the attention of the international community. The report suggests that these elections have opened the corridors of power to ‘tainted’ faces and criminals rather than the general public.
Scary figures: the height of violence
Details of incidents recorded during the election and after the results are as follows:
1200 murders: More than 1200 people have lost their lives in the conflict between different political factions.
Sexual violence: The report also mentions 13 rape incidents, which has exposed the security system.
Victory of criminals: The shocking thing is that many candidates who have serious criminal cases like kidnapping, extortion and murder have reached Parliament after winning the elections.
Democracy or a den of criminals?
Experts believe that this time’s elections in Bangladesh had become a means of ‘show of strength’:
Suppression of opposition: There was an atmosphere of fear among the voters due to the absence of the main opposition parties and violence.
Role of Administration: Allegations are being made that the police and administration remained mute spectators at many places, due to which the miscreants got a free hand.
Human rights violations: International human rights organizations have expressed deep concern over these figures and demanded an impartial investigation.
What next?
After these consequences and violence, the biggest challenge before the new government of Bangladesh will be to restore law and order and improve its image on the global stage. A feeling of insecurity has crept in among common citizens, which will not be easy to remove.
