The Oikyafront chief urged the voters to go to polling stations early in the morning on December 30 and stay there to check vote rigging and all other irregularities. "You all remain united so that no one can obstruct voters."

Recalling the glorious role of Bangladesh Police in the country's Liberation War, he called upon its members not to indulge in any unfair and unethical acts regarding the election.
