BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said, "How was the search committee, who came; We are not interested in these. The formation of the search committee, the election commission, is part of the blueprint that the government has adopted to stay in power. Such a process is deception with the people."
The BNP leader said “This search committee has no value. It’s only a pointless exercise.
There’s nothing new to say about this matter. We think this committee has been formed as part of their (govt’s) evil design to deceive people again,” he said
Earlier in the day, a six-member search committee, led by Appellate Division Justice Obaidul Hasan, was formed to suggest the names of the Chief Election Commissioner and other election commissioners.
A gazette in this regard was issued by the Cabinet division. The tenure of the incumbent commission, led by CEC KM Nurul Huda, will expire on February 14.
