KSJL for polls-time govt with registered political parties 

The Krishak Sramik Janata League on Sunday joined talks with President M Abdul Hamid, placing six proposals on the 12th day of the ongoing dialogue over formation of an acceptable Election Commission (EC).

A nine-member KSJL delegation led by its President Bangobir Kader Siddiki Bir Uttom proposed to hold the upcoming national elections by forming an election-time government involving the registered political parties.

After the dialogue, President’s Press Secretary Md Joynal Abedin told BSS that during the hour-long discussion, the nine-member delegation placed the six-point proposal, including enacting a new law.

“If it is not possible to enact a law at this moment, we proposed to form a five-member EC with inclusion of more than two women members,” Kader Siddique said.

Instead of the search committee, the EC members must be patriotic and trustworthy and acceptable to the people of the country, he added.

The KSJL proposed to the Election Commission not to formulate any election rules without consulting the registered political parties of the country.

They said the neutrality of the government is more important than the efficiency of the Election Commission.
