Explain alleged vote rigging in BMA polls: HC

The High Court yesterday asked the government to explain in two weeks why it should not be directed to investigate the allegations of irregularities occurred during Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) election held on November 29, 2012.
Following a writ petition filed on December 13, 2012, by Dr Syed Md Akram Hossain, a joint secretary of Doctors' Association of Bangladesh (DAB), an organisation of pro-BNP doctors, the court issued the rule. In the writ, he alleged that vote rigging, maladministration and manipulations took place in the BMA election.
In the poll, pro-Awami League Swadhinata Chikitsak Parishad (Swachip) won all the 41 posts of the BMA central executive committee and DAB rejected the poll result.
