Islami Andolon Bangladesh on Monday alleged that the ruling Awami League activists are threatening polling agents and attacking election campaigns ahead of the 11th parliamentary election.
A delegation from the party led by Senior Joint Secretary General ATM Hemayet Uddin submitted a complaint in this regard with the Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda at the secretariat in the capital.
Briefing the press after the meeting with the CEC, Hemayet Uddin said Awami League activists and its alliance partners are threatening polling agents and attacking election campaigns while the police are also harassing their activists.
He said that police are still filing "ghost" cases against their activists.
"Police are categorizing our leaders as Jamaat-Shibir men and are arresting them at different parts of the country," he said.
He said the commission has failed to ensure a level playing field and there are no signs of them doing so anytime soon when the elections are right around the corner.
The party is fielding candidates in 299 constituencies in the December 30 polls.
Among others, Islami Andolon Bangladesh leaders Imtiaz Alam and M Abul Kashem were also present at the meeting.
