A four-member delegation of pro-BNP professionals will go to the Election Commission today to ask the commission to create a level-playing field for all political parties to hold a free, fair and credible election.
The delegation led by former Dhaka University vice-chancellor Emajuddin Ahamed comprises Supreme Court Bar Association President Khandakar Mahbub Hossain, founder trustee of Gonosashthya Zafrullah Chowdhury and Dhaka University teacher Mahbubullah.
Shoto Nagorik Committee, a pro-BNP citizens platform, held a meeting at Emajuddin’s Elephant Road house last night. Some 20-25 professionals were present at the meeting.
Abdul Haye Sikdar, member secretary of Shoto Nagorik, said the weekly meeting of the platform discussed the upcoming city corporation elections. He said the meeting tried to understand why the elections were announced all on a sudden.
“We are yet to understand the roles of the government, the Election Commission and the law enforcers. We have also discussed how the BNP could participate in the polls,” said Andul Haye.
