Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is set to regain its registration along with its traditional election symbol, the scales, very soon, a member of the Election Commission said on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Election Commissioner Abul Fazl Md Sanaullah disclosed this information to journalists following the sixth commission meeting at the Election Commission building in the afternoon.
Regarding the court order on reinstating Jamaat's registration, he said: “We have considered the matter of the symbol. The party was granted registration with the symbol in a 2008 notification. Additionally, according to the Representation of the People Order (RPO), once a symbol is allotted to a party, it remains reserved for that party. The party will receive registration along with the symbol.”
He further said: “We have thoroughly examined the Appellate Division’s observations regarding the DSCC election. We have also reviewed the references. We believe the EC has fulfilled its responsibilities by publishing the gazette.”
