401
DHAKA, Dec 20, 2020 (BSS) – Election Commissioner Brigadier General (Retd) Shahadat Hossain Chowdhury today said there is no basis for the allegations made by prominent citizens or dignitaries against the Election Commission (EC).
Earlier, 42 distinguished citizens requested the head of the state to constitute Supreme Judicial Council to probe allegations of corruption and other misconduct against the EC.
“It may be purpose oriented and I don’t think there’s any basis for it. It is not sensible for ‘Sudhijan’ to present such an issue,” said the Election Commissioner while talking to the journalists at his office at Nirbachan Bhaban in city’s Agargaon area.
