BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday alleged that the new bill on the formation of the Election Commission (EC) has been formulated to constitute another Commission with people loyal to the government.
“The Prime Minister’s will be reflected on the Election Commission bill to be passed by the government without having elected representatives,” said Rizvi.
He also said the government has prepared the draft of the Bill to constitute another Election Commission like Huda-Rakib ones. “People’s hopes and aspirations will not be reflected on the new Election Commission.”
The BNP leader came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after paying homage to Arafat Rahman Koko, the younger son of party founder Ziaur Rahman and current chairperson Khaleda Zia, by placing a wreath at his Banani grave, marking his 7th death anniversary.
