GBNEWS24 DESK//

The Cabinet Division has sent a letter to the Election Commission (EC) requesting to take legal action against Faridpur-4 MP Mujibur Rahman Nixon Chowdhury for misbehaving with deputy commissioner (DC) and local administration officials including the UNO.

Earlier, Faridpur DC Atul Sarkar sent a letter to the Cabinet Division making allegations of serious misconduct against him and other local administration officials by Nixon Chowdhury MP.

Tawhid Ilahi, Senior Assistant Secretary of the Cabinet Division, sent the letter to the Election Commission Secretary demanding action against Nixon Chowdhury MP, Upazila Chairman Mohammad Kawsar and their supporters for violating the Upazila Parishad (Election Code of Conduct) Rule 2016.

The complaint letter sent by Faridpur DC Atul Sarker to the Cabinet Division in Dhaka also attached five pages of complaints forwarded from Faridpur.

In his complaint, the DC stated that Faridpur 4 MP Mujibur Rahman Nixon Chowdhury threatened him over the arrest of his supporters during the Charbhadrasan Upazila Parishad by-election.

He made the threat at a victory rally held in front of Charbhadrasan Upazila Awami League office after Awami League candidate Md Kawsar Hossain was elected chairman of Charbhadrasan upazila.

Faridpur Deputy Commissioner Atul Sarkar is also the assistant commissioner (land) of the district.

Addressing the rally, MP Nixon said the deputy commissioner had arrested the activists of the boat symbol and used 12 magistrates to ‘assault them’ during the election.

Calling the deputy commissioner a “razakar,” the MP said: “Party leaders and activists were attacked by magistrates wherever they were found in four unions.”
