Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s comments over incumbent Election Commission (EC), new search committee and EC formation are conflicting with democratic politics and values.
He said this in a statement signed by the party’s deputy office secretary Sayem Khan.
In the statement, Quader, also Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said Fakhrul commented that a case should be filed against the incumbent EC to bring all concerned to justice on charge of destroying the election system of Bangladesh.
Describing the comments as purpose-oriented hatred and absurd, he said: “Such comments are conflicting with democratic politics and values.”
The AL general secretary said EC is not only a Constitutional institution but also a regulatory body for all political parties and it acts as like as a referee.
“In games, when any team performs poorly, it blames referee in many cases. BNP’s condition is also apparently same. It has become their habit to blame the referee after being defeated in game or without contesting it,” he said.
If the EC faces any obstacles in discharging its duties in proper manner due to BNP’s pre-planned conspiracy of making the election questionable through adopting evil strategies, BNP will have to take its responsibility, he mentioned.
“I think legal actions should be taken against BNP for making hatred against the EC without showing respect to democratic rules and customs as a registered political party,” Quader said.
