Gano Forum chief Dr Kamal Hossain, who leads the Jatiya Oikya Forum coalition with the BNP, wants Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda to be replaced.
“We are not satisfied after holding talks with the CEC. We demand that he be replaced with a credible person,” he said while briefing journalists about the country’s overall political situation and election atmosphere at the Jatiya Press Club.
He said the arrest of opposition leaders and activists is still continuing hindering a congenial polls atmosphere. “The sweeping arrest has to stop. “
Dr Kamal further said, “Police are the force of the state…they aren’t the government force. Police have to work for creating a proper election atmosphere. They must provide protection to opposition parties.”
