Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has expressed dissatisfaction over what it described as unequal allocation of body cameras for law enforcement officers at polling centers and inadequate installation of CCTV cameras. At a press briefing held Tuesday afternoon at the party’s central office in Moghbazar, Assistant Secretary General and head of the central publicity and media department Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair demanded sufficient body cameras and CCTV coverage at every polling station to ensure fair, neutral, and violence-free elections.
Zubair alleged that some centers received over 100 body cameras while others got only 5 to 10, claiming the disparity appeared to favor certain political groups. He said the Election Commission had not provided clear information on how many of the 18,000 to 20,000 CCTV cameras mentioned were actually installed. He warned that the shortage of surveillance equipment could allow violence and hinder documentation of incidents.
He also reported threats against Jamaat polling agents and alleged a smear campaign involving fake photo cards and leaflets. Zubair urged the Election Commission and law enforcement to investigate these incidents and take immediate action against those responsible.
