EC's role not neutral
Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojahid yesterday alleged that the Election Commission (EC) and the Chief Election Commissioner are not acting in a neutral manner.
Their activities prove that they want to install Awami League in power, he added.
Addressing a press conference at the party's central office, Mojahid also said that as per the Constitution, Islamic parties should get advantage for registration, but the EC seems hostile towards religion-based parties.
Replying to a question about registration of Awami League and other parties, he said Jamaat is a democratic party and it did not oppose registration of other political parties.
Mojahid said the CEC's political identity is clear from a statement about 1970 and 2001 general elections.
The Jamaat leader said the RPO provisions relating to party registration are illegal and undemocratic.
He apprehended that some groups, who want to form a national government, want to foil December 18 elections. The Commission's role also contributes towards creating uncertainty about the elections, he added.
