Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar yesterday called for the appointment of neutral officials across all administrative tiers, including deputy commissioners (DCs) and superintendents of police (SPs), to ensure a level playing field for the forthcoming national election.
"A fair and credible election would not be possible if individuals loyal to any particular party continue to hold key positions in the administration," he said.
Mia Golam Parwar was speaking at a joint press conference of eight political parties at the Al-Falah auditorium in Moghbazar at 12:30pm, which came after an earlier meeting at 11:00am at the same venue where senior leaders of the alliance sat with Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman in the Chair.
