The Election Commission will respond to the BNP's letter calling the commission 'controversial', the chief election commissioner has said.
Speaking to reporters at his office on Monday, ATM Shamsul Huda said, 'They (BNP) have levelled a baseless charge against an organisation (EC). I think we should convey our mind about the allegations to the party.'
He said the process of sending a letter to the BNP in this regard was under way.
The main opposition party, in a letter to the EC last week, slammed the commission and rejected its invitation to a dialogue with registered political parties on several issues, including amendment of the Representation of the People Order and introducing electronic voting system.
In the letter, the party said, 'We think that it would be proper for the controversial commission in its last hours to leave the work of amending election laws for the next commission.'
'Discussion with the current EC, which has lost people's faith due to its nepotism and fragile behaviour, will not be successful,' it added.
