BNP protests EC's remark on EVM
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) yesterday protested the remarks of the Election Commissioner (EC) Brig Gen (retd) Muhammad Sakhawat Hussain that there is no scope of manipulating election results through Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).
According to a statement of BNP, Sakhawat in Kaliakoir of Gazipur on January 28 made a remark that vote rigging is not possible through EVM.
The statement, signed by BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, said this kind of remarks should not be made by an election commissioner.
He said this kind of remark was politically motivated and irresponsible.
If EC gave an EVM to the BNP, they would prove that rigging was possible through the system, the statement said.
