Dhaka, Dec 31 (Just News): Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has expressed deep concerns over the 11th parliamentary election and its results, as they were questioned and disputed with at least 19 dead and many more injured due to incidents of violence, vandalism and violation of the code of conduct.
The organization demanded proper judicial investigation into these allegations reported by media all over the country, in a statement released on Monday.
TIB Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman said: "Necessary steps will be taken, based on fair and impartial investigation into the allegations on multiple instances of violence and violation of the code of conduct, for which the election results have come under questions.
"From the very beginning, we have been in favour of creating equal opportunities for the parties."
Dr Zaman says: "It is essential to investigate into the Election Commission’s shortcomings in ensuring a peaceful election, so I urge the government to initiate a judicial inquiry.”
In the interest of ensuring that the formation of the new government is based on fair results collected from a fair poll, he said: “an investigation is mandatory in order to preserve democracy, dignity, trust and acceptance.”
