Jamaat demands scrapping EC rule barring MPO teachers from contesting elections
সিইসি এ এম এম নাসির উদ্দিনের সঙ্গে বৈঠক শেষে সাংবাদিকদের ব্রিফিংকালে জামায়াতে ইসলামীর সেক্রেটারি জেনারেল অধ্যাপক গোলাম পারওয়ার।

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Professor Golam Parwar has demanded that the Election Commission scrap its provision barring teachers of private MPO-listed schools from contesting elections.

He made the demand while briefing journalists after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin at the Election Commission headquarters on Tuesday afternoon.

Golam Parwar led a six-member Jamaat delegation at the meeting.

He said the EC provision violates Articles 27 and 28 of the Constitution and warned that the commission could face legal challenges if the provision is not withdrawn.

Nearly 30,000 MPO-listed teachers are currently employed, he said.

The Jamaat leader also said the delegation had requested the government to take steps to remove an individual serving as an additional secretary of the Election Commission, alleging that he was a member of the BNP’s election coordination committee.

The delegation requested that the government be informed about the matter, he added.
