Search body can’t make neutral EC: Fakhrul

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir

Senior Correspondent: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that the search committee formed by the President cannot constitute a neutral Election commission as it has been made with persons loyal to Awami League.


The BNP secretary general came up with the official view of the party on the recently-formed search committee at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan office on Friday.

 

 “Filled by those loyal to Awami League family, it will be not possible for this search committee to constitute a neutral next Election Commission,” Fakhrul said during the briefing.

 

“The chairman of the search committee is a person who had earlier proposed forming a worthless and spineless commission like Rakibuddin-led one. This person has been made the search committee chairman again,” he said.

 

We placed a proposal for forming the search committee with neutral persons who are above any controversy and who did not hold any profitable posts, he said.

 

 “The government wants for form another subservient Election Commission like the one led by incumbent Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad,” he added.
