Hanif said this while inaugurating sugarcane crushing season of 2017-18 at Kushtia Sugar Mill on Friday morning.
The AL central leader said that the free fair RCC election proved that the Election Commission (EC) is totally independent, adding that RCC polls also proved the BNP's suspicion false on fair election under the present government.
Replying to another query of journalists, Hanif said the present government does not belief on disappearance and killing, saying that "the founder of BNP Ziaur Rahman had introduced the politics of disappearance and killing in the country after 1975 and his party BNP continued it."
