Fair polls not possible under present CEC, Inu says


Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President Hasanul Hoque Inu yesterday demanded resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner MA Aziz and and reform to the caretaker system to hold the next parliamentary electio in a free and fair manner.

"Fair election is not possible under the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) as he conspired to prepare fake voter list ignoring the High Court order", Inu said while addressing a public meeting at Ikorchali High School ground

The Election Commission (EC) is now planning to update the voter list as per desire of the the BNP-Jamast government, he alleged.

The BNP-Jamat government has planned to form a caretaker

government with their own people with a dream to

remain in power for five years more. People will resist the move, he said.

With Kumaresh Roy in the chair, the meeting was addressed by, among others, JSD joint secretary Shirin Akter, central leader Ekramul Hoque Spwan and its Rangpur district committee leaders Goutom Roy and Abdus Sattar.

Inu called upon the people to unite under the 14-party alliance to foil all conspiracies hatched by the alliance government.

He said the BNP-Jamat alliance government, which patronised Islamist militants, is planning to thwart the democratic process by not accepting the reform proposals for holding a fair election.
