Post of president not office of profit: Election Commissioner Alamgir
Election Commissioner Md Alamgir has said the post of president is not an office of profit. Therefore, there is no obstacle for Md Shahabuddin, a former commissioner of ACC, to become the country's president.
He made this comment while talking to reporters at his office at the Election Commission today.
According to the ACC Act, its commissioners cannot hold any office of profit. Question has arisen whether the post of president is an office of profit or not.
Asked about the EC's position in this regard, Md Alamgir said according to the ACC Act, its commissioners cannot hold any office of profit. "But you have to know that when the Election Commission did this, it took the decision knowing the law."
