Why not Gano Odhikar Parishad a political party: HC to govt

Published : Tuesday, 12 December, 2023 at 12:00 AM  Count : 265
The High Court on Monday issued a rule asking the government to explain as to why the Bangladesh Gano Odhikar Parishad should not be registered as a political party.

It also asked the Election Commission (EC) why its decision not to register the Bangladesh Gano Odhikar Parishad should not be declared illegal.

The HC bench comprising Justice KM Kamrul Quader and Justice Khizir Hayat issued the rule after preliminary hearing on a writ petition filed by Reza Kibria, the convener of Bangladesh Gano Odhikar Parishads faction, seeking its directive in this regard. The Election Commission has been asked to reply to the rule within four weeks. Adv Eklas Uddin Bhuiyan appeared for the petitioner while Barrister Md Anisuzzaman represented the EC during the hearing on the petition.

Reza Kibria, the convener of Bangladesh Gano Odhikar Parishads faction filed the writ petition last month seeking High Court directive to the Election Commission to grant the party registration as a political party ahead of upcoming general elections.

A letter signed by ECs Deputy Secretary Md Abdul Halim Khan on August 29 informed Reza Kibria that his party would not be granted registration since it had not met the required conditions.

Former Dhaka University Central Student Unions vice president Nurul Haque Nur who is the President of Gano Odhikar Parishads other faction, was also trying to obtain EC registration. But, he also failed to secure the same from EC.
