EC arranged Jan-5 polls as per HT Imam\\\'s plot: BNP

Describing PM’s Adviser HT Imam as the chief Imam of the ruling party, BNP on Tuesday claimed that the Election Commission had arranged farcical polls on January-5 as per his blueprint. ’We’d said about irregularities in an election under a partisan administration. They’d dined. But now HT Imam has divulged all the evil designs behind the January-5 polls,’ said BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. Addressing a discussion, he further said, ‘HT Imam was in charge of overseeing election though he had no post during the last polls. His remarks proved how he’d arranged a farcical unilateral election on January 5 by the puppet Election Commission and conducting mobile courts by their party men.’ Bangladesh Chhatra Forum and Uttaranchal Chhatra Forum organised the programme at the Jatiya Press Club, marking BNP senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman’s 50th birthday, according to UNB.
