Mymensingh: Election Commissioner (EC) Mohammad Alamgir yesterday said the Election Commis-sion has been working to ensure a peaceful voting environment with ample security measures, and if necessary army will be deployed to ensure peace.
Hoping spontaneous participation of the voters, the Election commissioner said, “Our duty is to let the voters vote freely. Nothing will spoil the voting environment or stop it from taking place on the due date.”
“The foreign countries want an unhindered election and the commission is
working on it from the very beginning,” Mohammad Alamgir said while exchanging views with return-ing officer and law enforcers at the Zila Parishad Shaheed Abdul Jabbar Auditorium here.
“They (foreign countries) are content with the overall election activities. We neither received suggestion nor got any pressure from them. Rather, the Election Commission is pressuring everyone for fair elec-tions,” he said while replying to the question of journalists’ present at the meeting.
Earlier, the EC exchanged views with the returning officers, assistant
returning officers, local authorities of the law enforcement forces and other persons related to the elec-tion ahead of the upcoming 12th National Elections.
