Dhaka, Nov 24 (Just News): BNP today submitted a list of 21 arrested leaders and activists to the Election Commission.
The party’s Lawsuits and Information Record Officer Md Salahudddin Khan submitted the list the EC this afternoon.
The Election Commission on Thursday held a meeting with law enforcers where it instructed them not to file any case to harass anyone and arrest anyone without warrant.
“Despite the EC’s instruction, 21 BNP leaders and activists have been arrested in barely two days,” Salahuddin said after submitting the list.
BNP also submitted a list of 1,047 arrested party men to the EC earlier.
Meanwhile, BNP today also submitted another letter to the EC criticising the commission for its “silence” and “inaction” over the death of the party’s nomination seeker from Jashore-6 constituency Abu Bakar Abu.
In the letter signed by the party’s Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP alleged “The Election Commission was notified three times after Abu went missing but the commission did not instruct law enforcers to rescue him alive.”
Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda today said that the law enforcers were not arresting anyone without a valid reason or going beyond the directives of the EC.
