The mayor candidate alleged that Rummon Razzak, son of his election conducting committee member secretary Abdur Razzak was picked up by police on Sunday night and Abdur Razzak was being intimidated too.
In a press conference at Mita community center of Kazitola area in the city, Ariful Haque Chowdhury alleged that law enforcers were harassing their leaders and activists and showing biased attitude towards them.
He said, on Sunday night police also picked up Sylhet district unit’s ex-president of Bangladesh Chhatra Dal, Sayed Ahmed.
“The houses of party leaders were being raided persistently. They (law enforcers) are intimidating senior leaders like Abdur Razzak and Nasim Hossain”, he alleged.
“During his visit in Sylhet, Election Commissioner Rafiqul Islam assured that the administration will perform its duty impartially, but in reality we are seeing a different picture”, Ariful said.
