We don’t want such election that will put country in crisis: EC Rasheda

Election Commissioner (EC) Rasheda Sultana has said that the Election Commission does not want to hold such an election that will put the country in crisis.

The Election Commissioner said this while talking to journalists at her office in the Nirbachan Bhaban on Wednesday (January 3).

The election held in 1996 was not acceptable, there was a controversy about that election later.  Another election was held within a few days due to its lack of acceptance. There was a lot of waste. We don't want such a situation will happen again, she said.“We aim to hold an election that is universally acknowledged as fair and just,” she said.

Replying to a question, Rashida said, “People want deployment of the army and it will ensure a conducive and peaceful environment for all to participate in the election. We are confident that a fair voting environment has been established.”
