UNB, Dhaka :
Hitting out at the Election Commission for its inaction against ruling party men for various election irregularities, BNP on Sunday alleged that the Commission is working as per the government’s desire and will.
“The Election Commission can’t take any action against ruling party men except warning a few of them for continuously violating the election code
of conduct. They’re carrying out their all activities as per the government’s hope and aspirations,” said BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Speaking at a press briefing, he also alleged that the EC is trying to avoid its responsibility by keeping silence regarding the ruling party men and rejecting the allegations of the BNP candidates.
The BNP leader said the ruling party men attacked the BNP men, vandalised the party candidates’ election offices and damaged their posters in different areas, including Kaliganj of Jhenidah, Bakerganj of Barisal, Taherpur of Rajshahi, Morelganj of Bagerhat, Kushtia, Mirersari and Baroiarhat of Chittagong, Feni, Bhola, Laksam of Comilla and Bajitpur of Kishoreganj, in the last 24 hours until 3pm on Sunday.
