Talukder, an election commissioner, has been demeaning the Election Commission intentionally to fulfil his personal interest, Huda alleged in an event organised to observe ‘National Voter Day’ on Tuesday.
Talukder was present at the event and spoke ahead of Huda. The CEC came down hard on Talukder while delivering his speech as the chief guest of the event.
“Since the day he joined us, Mahbub Talukder has always taken out a piece of paper from his pocket and read out everything negative about the EC. Today wasn’t an exception to it,” Huda said.
