Make EC independent
Demand professionals
Peshajibi Samannay Parishad (PSP) in a statement yesterday demanded the election commission be made a separate, strong, and fully independent institution for holding elections in a free, fair, and credible manner.
PSP leaders said it has already been proved in different countries that a separate and independent election commission can hold elections credible nationally and internationally.
The PSP, a body of professionals, issued the statement following the recent Supreme Court verdict that declared the caretaker government system illegal.
Expressing satisfaction over the SC verdict, the parishad said the caretaker government system is apparently an expression of lack of confidence on the political leaders.
PSP Coordinator Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, Member Secretary Dr Kamrul Hasan Khan, and its leaders Prof Kazi Faruk Ahmed and Prof Mahmud Hasan were signatories of the statement.
