Attack on Hadi will not affect election: EC
The attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, a potential candidate in the Dhaka-8 constituency and spokesperson of Inquilab Mancha, will not have a major impact on the upcoming national parliamentary election, election commissioner Abdur Rahmanel Masud has said. He added that the election would be held on schedule.
He made the remarks in an interview with a private television channel on December 13.
Abdur Rahmanel Masud said that if isolated incidents create fear about holding elections, it becomes difficult to reach the desired goal. He stressed the need to further strengthen law and order.
It may be recalled that Osman Hadi was critically injured after being shot by assailants in the capital’s Bijoynagar area on Friday. His condition remains critical.
