Quader draws EC attention over Tarique’s video conference

Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Qauder on Sunday drew the attention of the Election Commissioner to taking interview of BNP nomination seekers by its acting chairperson Tarique Rahman through a videoconference.

“We’re drawing the Election Commission’s attention whether a fugitive convict in two cases can join election procedures”, he said while talking to reporters at secretariat.

Awami League general secretary said, “I would like to tell the nation whether a fugitive convict can give such a statement. We want justice from the nation.”

He also said AL-led 14-party alliance nominated candidates’ name will be announced within 4-5 days. Alliance partners will be given 60-65 seats among the 300 parliamentary seats.
