CEC embarrassed due to helplessness, says BNP

Dhaka, Dec 12 (Just News): BNP Vice Chairman Selima Rahman today said Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda is feeling embarrassed due to his helplessness.

"We think CEC is truly embarrassed because the EC cannot exercise its power," she said while briefing the journalists after submitting a letter on behalf of her party to the commission this afternoon.

"If CEC takes actions the election would be acceptable to all," she added.

In the letter, BNP sought EC's interference for stopping attack and harassment inflicted upon BNP activists even after the start of election campaign.

Earlier in the morning, CEC KM Nurul Huda said in a briefing that, he is embarrassed over yesterday's attack on BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's motorcade in Thakurgaon and a clash in Noakhali where a Jubo League leader was killed.

Mirza Fakhrul's motorcade came under attack, allegedly by AL men, in Thakurgaon's Danarhat village when he went to his hometown on December 11, a day after the Election Commission opened the field for Election Campaign.

At least 10 people were hurt and four vehicles were damaged in the attack, according to BNP leaders.
