The Election Commission (EC) announced Monday that Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin has taken the terrorist attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Moncho and an independent aspirant for the Dhaka-8 constituency, with utmost seriousness. The CEC has instructed relevant agencies to take firm and immediate action to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The statement came in response to reports circulating in media and social platforms regarding remarks the CEC made earlier while inaugurating a Youth Voter Festival in Gulshan.
According to the EC, an emergency meeting was convened Sunday at 4 p.m. with senior law enforcement officials. During the meeting, the CEC directed strict measures to ensure the attacker is swiftly apprehended and emphasized steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The CEC also stressed that the attack on Hadi will not affect the upcoming elections. The commission expressed hope that its clarification would dispel any misunderstanding about the CEC’s earlier comments.
