Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is violating the election code of conduct by seeking votes for her partys election symbol boat using state facilities before the announcement of the next election schedule.

We think the government is trying to make political gains by using the issue, he said.
