No violation of law if held sans party symbol: LGRD Minister

Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Md Tajul Islam on Tuesday said there will be no violation of the law if political parties do not nominate candidates with their symbol in the upazila council elections, reports UNB.

He made the remark while talking to reporters at the Cabinet Division of the Secretariat. Asked about Awami League's yesterday decision not to nominate any candidate with boat symbol and whether it is possible under the existing law, the minister said," The way the law has been enacted, the elections can be held with party symbols or without party symbols."
