Afroza Abbas, wife of Mirza Abbas, yesterday urged the Election Commission (EC) to work impartially and neutrally during upcoming elections to Dhaka city corporations scheduled to be held on April 28.
She made the call while conducting election campaigns on behalf of her husband, the mayor candidate for Dhaka South City Corporation, in Gopibagh area.
“The government is giving repeatedly assurance of holding fair polls, but I cannot find such environment in the line the assurance.”
She alleged that her party’s supporters were facing attacks and threats during the polls campaign.
Abbas has remained in the hideout as a number of cases filed against him.
Asked whether she informed the EC about the attacks and threats, she said: “We informed to the Election Commission. But the commission has not taken any step in this regard yet.” “We hope that the commission will work neutrally and impartially in the future,” she added.
Afroza also alleged that the election commission is yet to create a level playing field for all the candidates.
In the name of ensuring security, members of law enforcement agencies were following Abbas’s supporters and activities during campaigning programmes, she said.
