Wednesday, 23 July 2008
KHULNA, July 22 (UNB): Sushasoner Jonno Nagorik (Sujon) general secretary Badiul Alam Mazumder Tuesday said many identified criminals and killers have become candidates for the upcoming election to city corporations and municipalities.
"So, it is apprehended that the reform work undertaken by the present caretaker government to ensure participation of honest, qualified and patriotic candidates in the elections may be hampered," he said at a face-to-face programme with the candidates of Khulna city corporation.
Sujon, Prothom Alo, Daily Star and Channel-i jointly organised the programme at the Zia Parishad Hall in Khulna.
Dr Mazumder also said many candidates have either provided incomplete and inconsistent information in their nomination papers or concealed information. This is disappointing.
He called upon all to vote for honest and qualified candidates in the polls.
Presided over by Sujon Khulna unit president M Jafar Ahmed, the face-to-face programme was addressed by Prof Anwarul Quadir and a number of mayoral and councilor candidates.
Khulna Divisional Commissioner M Yunusur Rahman, Khulna Metropolitan police commissioner Helaluddin and divisional election commissioner M Mohsin Ali also spoke on the occasion.
