BNP demands Gazipur SP’s withdrawal

Staff Correspondent: BNP on Sunday demanded withdrawal of Gazipur Superintendent of Police (SP) Harun-ur-Rashid for ensuring a fair and impartial voting in the city corporation there on Tuesday.

BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan told reporters after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda at Nirbachan Bhaban at Agargaon in the capital this afternoon.

“We demanded that Gazipur SP Gazipur Harun-ur-Rashid be withdrawn,” the BNP leader said.

During the meeting, a three-member BNP delegation, led by Moyeen Khan, also submitted to the CEC a letter of the party containing its various demands and observations for holding the election in a fair and acceptable manner.

Moyeen Khan said the Gazipur SP is one of the main barriers to holding a credible election as he is playing a ‘partisan role and harassing BNP leaders and activists’.

The BNP leader said they urged the Commission to exert its constitutional power as an independent body so that voters can cast their votes without any fear and obstacle.
