“All he wanted to see were the polls in his school”

The above news published in The Daily Star on April 1, 2016, states how the violent UP polls claimed the life of Shuvo, a ten-year-old boy. Shovo Kazi Srabon, a fourth grader of Madhurchar Government Primary School in Keraniganj was also killed by a stray bullet fired by the supporters of the Awami League candidate at his school, which was being used as a polling station. The boy wanted to witness the festivity surrounding the voting process in his school, but within an hour, his uncle had to take his dead body home.
Shuvo's father, Halim Kazi, plaintively asked why the government held such violent polls which were responsible for the death of his innocent son. Honourable prime minister and Chief Election Commissioner, could you please answer this question?
