Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said this year`s January 7 polls were the freest, fairest and most credible in Bangladesh after 1975.
"I think the election that was held in Bangladesh on January 7 this year was the freest, fairest and most neutral since 1975," she told a view exchange meeting with Gopalganj district Awami League leaders and activists at her official Ganabhaban residence.
Sheikh Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat wanted to foil the January 7 polls by doing various misdeeds. But the most important thing of the election is that the people spontaneously went to the polling stations and cast their vote, she said.
