Leaders of Ganotantri Party and Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan on Monday met separately President Abdul Hamid at Bangabhaban to present their views and proposals on the formation of a new Election Commission for holding the 12th parliamentary polls.
A seven-member delegation of Ganotantri Party was led by its president Barrister Arash Ali, while Mawlana Atullah Hafezi, chairman of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolan, led his party’s seven-member team in the talks held at the Durbar Hall of the president’s house, according to Jaynal Abedin, press secretary to the president.
Ganotantri Party proposed that a constitutional council be set up to form the EC. The council should comprise the prime minister, leader of the opposition in parliament, speaker, chief justice and attorney general.
The party also urged to take the action against those who will use the religion, muscle power and illegal money during election. It said that EC should be held accountable for their activities during the election and post-election period.
