Cox’s bazar: Election Commissioner Brigadier General (retd) Abul Fazal Md Sanaullah today assured that there would be no scope for exerting any unethical influence in the upcoming Jatiya Sangsad election. He emphasized that any grievances could be addressed through legal channels, as forceful measures would not yield results. His statements were made during a views-exchange meeting organized by the Law and Order Maintaining Cell at the Cox’s Bazar Deputy Commissioner’s Office this evening.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the Election Commissioner highlighted that stringent measures would be enforced to prevent Rohingyas from participating in any election-related activities. He announced that the Rohingya camps located in Ukhiya and Teknaf would be sealed both before and after the election period to ensure no interference occurs.
He underscored the significance of the national election, warning that improper conduct of the election would have severe repercussions, particularly for those responsible for maintaining law and order. Brigadier General Sanaullah outlined plans for joint forces operations to be conducted prior to the election. These operations would target the recovery of illegal arms, the arrest of listed criminals, and the prevention of major violations of the electoral code of conduct.
The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commissioner and District Returning Officer Md Abdur Mannan and was attended by senior officials from law enforcement agencies and the district administration.
