CITY CORPORATION ELECTI0NS 2018 : Sylhet

AL candidate's electoral camp set on fire

Mayoral candidates file complaints against each other

Our Correspondent, sylhet
Miscreants set fire to AL candidate Badar Uddin Ahmed Kamran's electoral camp in Syihet city's Tultikor area late at night on Saturday.
Akther Hossain, officer-in-charge of Shahporan Police Station, said that the fire broke out around 3:00am but no one can identify the culprits.
Filing of a case against unidentified miscreants was under prosess till last night, the OC said.
While visiting the camp yesterday morning, Kamran urged police to find the people behind the arson who are trying to instigate violence before the election.
While AL and BNP candidates are being cooperated by different groups of peoples, CPB-BSD candidate Abu Jafor is visiting mostly disadvantaged groups and using the classic method of communism by asking for "One vote, one note".
He ran his campaign at Subidbazar, Mirer Moydan, Kalapara, Hajipara and Londoni Road yesterday and asked voters to cast vote for "ladder” and support with a note (cash).
Abu Jafor also said that the city demands an election without any influence of power or black money.
Meanwhile, AL candidate Kamran and BNP candidate Ariful Haque Chowdhury are continuing their campaigns and making allegations against each other.
During his campaign, Ariful said, "The government is trying to set up an election similar to the ones in Khulna and Gazipur but in Syihet, they cannot do this. They are intimidating our
leaders, arresting our supporters but we are not afraid."
Kamran, during his electoral campaign, said, "He (Artful) is staging a drama by sitting in front of police offices instead of connecting with the voters. No drama will work in Sylhet city anyway."
Other candidates, except for BNP rebel candidate Badruzzaman Selim, also ran their campaigns. Selim is now admitted to a hospital for treatment after he quit his electoral campaign in support of Artful.
KAMRAN'S COMPLAINTS
The AL candidate has filed two complaints with Election Commission (EC) against the BNP candidate for violating electoral rules.
Shafiqur Rahman Chowdhury, president of Kamran's election management committee, filed the separate complaints on Saturday afternoon.
In one complaint, the AL candidate mentioned that Artful is using the Shahi Eidgah premises to store his posters and assembling campaign materials.
He also complained that Artful, on Friday evening, arranged a meeting blocking access to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital.
ARI FUL'S COMPLAINTS
The BNP candidate lodged a complaint yesterday with Election Commission's Sylhet regional office, accusing Kamran and Sylhet Sadar upazila Chairman Ashfaq Ahmed of violating electoral rules.
In the complaint, Ali Ahmed, general secretary of Sylhet district unit of BNP, said that AL arranged a huge meeting Bankalapara in the city on July 20 around 11:00pm.
The complaint alleged that the AL candidate was present in the meeting for which a stage and hundreds of chairs were set, blocking the road; several loud microphones were also used - which are violation of electoral rules.
The complaint also mentioned that Ashfaq Ahmed, vice-president of Sylhet district unit of AL, cannot attend such meeting as he is the elected upazila chairman of Sylhet Sadar.
