Election campaigns have ended in Bangladesh, as voting is slated on 30 Dec. 2019.
For a few days now parts of Bangladesh are facing media and web blackout. Internet speeds have been slowed down to curb Social media activity. On roads thousands of opposition party members are being arrested and jailed for campaigning. Rights groups are crying but the international sellout media is not giving coverage to the repression going on in the only police state in South Asia.
Compare this to Pakistan where recently opposition parties not only have access thru social media but they campaigned thruout areas without facing any stoppage from the authorities.
I just got to know Bangladesh ruling party conducts the elections there is no caretaker setup installed like India or Pakistan. In 2008, Sh. Hasina thru ordinance squashed caretaker govt. clause. So the Chief Election Commissioner responsible for conducting elections is chosen by her govt. rofl.
US and indian media is shamefully quiet, I'm sure any such development in Pakistan or any other Muslim country would've been extensively reported and criticised. International media has been exposed and Bangladesh electorally has gone backwards into becoming an authoritarian state. Even military rulers were'nt as ruthless as this govt..
