Comilla Jamaat ameer not to join city polls
Comilla City Jamaat Ameer Kazi Deen Mohammad has decided to boycott January 5 election to Comilla City Corporation in protest against the use of EVM system and non-deployment of army in the polls.
The decision of boycotting the mayoral election was announced at a press conference at the party's city unit office yesterday morning.
In a written statement, Deen Mohammad said, “We placed two demands to the Election Commission since the beginning of campaign for the polls… deploy army for maintaining law and order and take steps for holding election through a system easily understandable to the people by shunning the complex EVM system.”
