BNP, Jamaat candidates fined for violating election code in B’baria-1
BNP candidate MA Hannan and Jamaat e Islami's Aminul Islam have been fined for breaching the election code of conduct in the Brahmanbaria-1 (Nasirnagar) constituency.
The fines were imposed on Saturday afternoon following a mobile court operation conducted by Assistant Commissioner and Executive Magistrate of the Brahmanbaria District Administration, NM Kaiser.
Executive Magistrate Kaiser said both candidates violated the election code of conduct during their campaign activities. The Jamaat-e-Islami candidate constructed arches around an election rally, used colorful banners, and displayed the party symbol larger than the permitted size. Meanwhile, the BNP candidate used colorful festoons in violation of the code.
The mobile court fined the Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Tk 30,000 and the BNP candidate Tk 20,000 for the violations, reports UNB.
The candidates also removed the colorful banners, festoons, and arches immediately following the mobile court’s order, NM Kaiser added.
