Renowned lawyer and Vice-Chairman of Bangladesh Bar Council Rokanuddin Mahmud demanded punishment of those involved in making "false" voter list.

"The names of fake voters will have to be excluded from the list to make the electoral roll acceptable and fair one," he said.

Former SCBA president Advocate Mohammad Ozair Farooq said CEC Justice MA Aziz and two election commissioners--Justice Mahfuzur Rahman and SM Zakaria--should be punished with imprisonment, fine and impeachment, as they have committed serious criminal offences by betraying the nation.

"As a Supreme Court judge, the CEC has violated his oath and ignored the High Court judgment over preparation of the electoral roll," he said.

Former SCBA president Advocate Mahbubey Alam said the CEC and two other election commissioners have committed criminal offences by betraying the nation.

"As the Election Commission (EC) is a constitutional body, allegations should be brought separately against the members of the EC through forming supreme judicial council," said the former SCBA president.

Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, former judge of the High Court, said the election officials as well as the election commissioners are accused of committing criminal offences in making "false" voter list.

"The three EC members have been hatching conspiracy of holding a farcical election. They should be punished under the existing electoral and criminal laws," he said.

Former SCBA secretary Advocate M Enayetur Rahim said all the three members of the Election Commission are involved in making "false" voter list.

"They have violated their constitutional oaths by acting as per suggestions of the BNP-Jamaat alliance," he alleged.
