Former professor of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet Muhammad Zafar Iqbal has said that it is impossible to virtually manipulate the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) from a technical point of view.

He made the statement while talking to the reporters at Nirbachan Bhaban at Agargaon in the capital on Wednesday (May 25) noon.

Zafar Iqbal said, “It is possible to check EVM what is in it before the operation. It will depend if someone believes this. I will tell the political parties, if you can hold the election as you like, through forming a new election commission- you should use the machine in this case too as it will benefit you.”

He further said, “I asked them to open the machine and show the circuits. How the circuits are set up inside it, it is impossible to manipulate the machine virtually.”

Zafar Iqbal said, “It depends if someone believes it. It is political matter. I’m just saying about the technical side. I request them, who talk against EVM, to inform us the problems in written specifically. We agree to show and make them know details about EVM.”

He said, “Under graduate students of our country make EVM regularly. They achieved various awards from abroad for making EVM. I’m personally convinced with the EVM. It is a very fantastic machine.”
