BNP senior leader Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain yesterday alleged that the government was trying to form another “spineless” Election Commission (EC) through a search committee

Mosharraf said: “People have seen the activities of Rakibuddin-led spineless Election Commission. They won’t accept if another such Election Commission is formed.”

The BNP leader made the statement at a programme organised by Swadhinata Forum, a pro-BNP platform, at the National Press Club in memory of late BNP standing committee member ASM Hannan Shah.

The tenure of the current Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad-led Election Commission will expire in February.

About the attack on Sylhet college girl Khadiza Akhter by the BCL leader, Mosharraf said terrorists and militants were now desperate as there was no democracy in the country.

Referring to the PM’s remarks that whether people have lost their human values as they recorded Khadiza’s attack instead of saving her, the BNP leader said it was the BCL men not people who have lost their human values.

“The prime minister should have told in parliament that Chhatra League lacks moral and human values.”
