Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal yesterday apparently changed his tune about the step the Election Commission took against ruling Awami League lawmaker AKM Bahauddin Bahar ahead of the Cumilla City Corporation polls.
The ruling Awami League and its affiliated organisations have filed most of the cases under the Digital Security Act (DSA) in the last 26 months since January 2020, according to a study. Activists of different political parties and journalists are mostly victims in these cases. The ruling party has filed 206 out of 890 cases during this period, it added.
