Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has requested Election Commission (EC) to investigate whether BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman can take part in election process or not.
He said this while answering a question of newsmen at the secretariat on Sunday.
Over the issue of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s interview taking of the nomination seekers through Skype Obaidul Quader said, I want to say to the nation, a convicted fugitive cannot deliver such speech. I want justice in this regard to the nation. I am seeking EC’s attention, whether any convict of two cases can take part in election process through video conference or not.
Requesting the EC Obaidul Quader said, you have to investigate how much proportional is Tarique’s participation in election process.
How much fair the election will be- replying to this question Obaidul Quader said, a better election will be held this time considering the election in the previous period in Bangladesh. It will be transparent and fair. Hundred percent transparent and fair election does not take place in any country. But it will be a good election.
The interview of BNP’s nomination seekers for the eleventh national parliament election has begun on Sunday. Acting Chairman of BNP Tarique Rahman is taking the interviews of nomination seekers through video conference.
The interview began at 9 am on Sunday at BNP Chairperson’s political office at Gulshan in the capital. Interviews of the nomination seekers from Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions are being taken on the day.
