Is EC under police, or police is under the EC?
Before getting appointment as the election officer, can the police or detective department inquire about the concerned officers or people? It is covered by the government's usual activities. But after getting the appointment, no other nose should be melted in this regard. The matter is entirely in the jurisdiction of the Election Commission. They gave the responsibility of selecting whom they thought fit.
According to Article 120 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, "If the Election Commission requests the employees, they will be required to provide the same employees to the Election Commission," according to the Election Commission.

It means that the person who will appoint the Election Commission will have to accept him. But how the police department is investigating the election officials in the last few days, it is not just jurisdiction but illegal. The concerned people need to remember, the election officials are not appointed according to the list of opposition parties; The Returning Officers have made this list for the Election Commission, who are the top officials of the government's government. It is now time to challenge the Returning Officer (Election Commission) and the election commission challenging police officials about the election officials.
Although several news stories have been published in the first light for a few days, the Election Commission is quite congenial. An Election Commissioner said that no such order was given to the Police Department from the commission. So is the police acting self-motivated? If they do, then the Election Commission should stop it now. But they are playing hugely without them.
There is a talk in the political arena that the ruling party took hold, the opposition party, especially the BNP alliance, would not be in the polls. It was assumed that the list of election officials was made. They thought, this year will be a non-contestable election like 2014. Who will be in charge of elections, who will not be, that is not important. The question of election officials 'patriotism' or team-cause comes only when BNP decides to go to the polls.

From the news of the first light representatives, it is known that in almost all the districts police have inquired about the election officials. One of our colleagues recently went to the northern region for personal and family work. He also came and told that the officials responsible for the election were in fear. The police people are asking them, whether you have done the election job before. Are you involved with any political party or student organization?
Very silly question The truth behind this silly question is that there is no problem if you are involved with 'A' team. But the problem with the 'B' team is the problem. If these police officers did not inquire about the election officials, inquired about the Awami League and the BNP office, they would get many more interesting information. When the founding secretary of the BNP, when the Awami League was involved or the Awami League's former organizing secretary, became the important leader of the BNP alliance then it is worthless to look into the 'past politics'.
If any election officer had made BCL or JCD in the past, then he can not say that he will not change his political position later. Now it is more important to know the political identity of the police officers who are very enthusiastic about the political identity of the election officials. Their behavior seems to have been associated with Chhatra League or Awami League politics by birth. This very enthusiastic enough to sink any government, he is not able to say anything.
After declaration of schedule according to the constitution, all the employees of the Republic (at least electoral work) can not be outside the people of the police department when the election commission goes to the jurisdiction. Even before the election schedule was announced, the administration was still working. But the difference is that they went to the Election Commission's jurisdiction.
Our ministers once shouted throat, the government is not required for elections, non-partisan (not to mention the caretaker word, but to use such a word outside the constitution). The ruling government will work routinely as the election-time government and the independent election commission will be the sole determinant of everything. Now it seems that they are not the controller of everything. Police control over them is the police.
We also know that before the announcement of the schedule, the Election Commission appointed presiding officer, assistant presiding officer and polling officer. Generally, government officials, non-government organizations and school-college teachers are recruiting these posts. If any of them get any specific allegation about the Election Commission will be examined. If necessary, they will do the job by the police department. But police can not auto-detect or investigate anyone. But they are doing it and the Election Commission is playing the role of silent observers. If this situation continues, the 'sovereign election' commission will become an organization under police.
A very enthusiastic Deputy Commissioner said, the state or any citizen can run intelligence activities. If he takes the correct statement, the state has to spy on 16 million people. It can not be in any democratic country. May be the only police state.
The police need to stop this act now. Otherwise, they might be catching voters by saying that if you voted for a party before and if you are not happy with it, then you will say, 'Your vote There is no need to go to the center. 'When the election for the candidates is participatory, it will not be for the voters.
