But these attempts will not succeed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nahid also accused the Election Commission of not maintaining neutrality towards the Jamaat alliance, alleging that he was served with a show-cause notice for campaigning in favour of a referendum, while no action was taken against others for promoting their respective parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nahid said the election would mark the end of extortionists, terrorists and land grabbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople expected extortion and land grabbing to stop after August 5, but that has not happened in some cases.
