AL complains EC over Tarique’s involvement

Staff Correspondent: The ruling Awami League (AL) has filed a written complaint to the Election Commission (EC) against the involvement of BNP acting Chairperson Tarique Rahman in his party’s nomination process.

A delegation led by Lt Col (retd) Faruk Khan, a presidium member of Awami League, filed the complaint to EC on Sunday evening.

Commission’s Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed received the letter.

Later, Faruk Khan told journalists that since Tarique is a convict, his involvement in the nomination process is violation of electoral code of conduct.

“It will throw the election into controversy. We urged the Election Commission to take a step in this regard,” he added.

BNP has been interviewing its candidates at Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office started on Sunday (November 18). Tarique Rahman, the party’s acting chairman, currently abroad, took part in the interviews through video conference.
