Free and fair elections
The main opposition AL and others parties have been demanding reforms in the Election Commission and the Caretaker Government, so that the next general election can be free and fair. In this regard we know that upazila election officials play a vital role at the grassroots level to make the election free and fair.
We were shocked when we came to know through the press that 150 JCD activists and relatives of BNP leaders had got appointments as upazila election officers. How could the appointments be recommended by the PSC? And how can the BNP claim that the next elections would be free and fair?
