Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda said that some innocent people have already lost their lives on the occasion of the election. Remember that a life is more valuable than an election. Let the election be competitive; But it should not end in violence. Conflict-conflict will take away life টি something that never happens.
He said this while addressing an exchange meeting with officials in charge of elections and law enforcement officials at Chittagong Circuit House on Sunday afternoon on the occasion of Chittagong City Corporation (CHC) elections.
Expressing doubts, the BNP mayoral candidate has demanded the deployment of the army in the election. So there is no need for army in the election. Election day is not a general holiday this time.
Chittagong Divisional Commissioner ABM Azad was a special guest at the meeting chaired by senior secretary. Alamgir. Chittagong Range DIG Anwar Hossain, CMP Commissioner Saleh Mohammad Tanvir, Chittagong Deputy Commissioner. Mominur Rahman and Muhammad Hasanuzzaman, Returning Officer of Chasik Election.
KM Nurul Huda said that the election environment is fair. At present, there is a reassuring electoral environment. Festivals have been created around the election. A huge number of people are participating in the campaign. We have heard the statements of the representatives of police, RAB, BGB, Ansar, executive magistrate, RAB and intelligence agencies. They have all expressed satisfaction with the election environment. Therefore, the commission does not feel any need to deploy the army in the elections.
He further said that the identity of a candidate participating in the election is that he is just a candidate. It is not a big identity of any party, opinion or tribe. It is the responsibility of the law enforcement agencies to provide legal assistance to all the candidates in the election campaign. The lives of a few innocent people have been lost on the occasion of the election. It can't be that life will go away in such a conflict.
The CEC said that there is no general holiday in this election. Most of the time we have seen most voters go home on holiday, not vote. There is a directive from the cabinet that those who will be employed as private or government officials should be given the opportunity to vote. For this reason, general leave is no longer being kept. However, large vehicles, trucks and motorcycles will be banned on election day.
