Chhatra Dal takes position outside EC for 3 demands

Chhatra Dal, the student wing of the BNP, took position in front of Nirbachan Bhaban on Sunday for three-point demands, including the allegation of the commission’s biased decisions on postal voting.

As per pre-announcement, a large number of supporters of the organisation started gathering near the Nirbachan Bhaban and later they sit-in there, chanting different slogans against the Election Commission.

Nasir Uddin Nasir, general secretary of Chhatra Dal, said the organisation will continue its sit-in peacefully till night.

Chhatra Dal said the Election Commission’s ‘biased and questionable’ decisions regarding postal ballots have created serious doubts about the neutrality of the electoral process.

It alleged that under pressure from a particular political group, the commission has taken ‘impulsive and short-sighted’ decisions instead of responsible and rational ones, raising questions about its independence and professionalism.

They warned that such actions pose a serious threat to democratic practices in the university.
