A notice from the Election Commission (EC) banning mobile phones at polling centers during the 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum has sparked widespread dissatisfaction among political activists and voters. The directive, which reportedly restricts carrying phones within 400 yards of polling stations, has drawn criticism from multiple political groups.
Leaders of the 11-party alliance led by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami announced plans to formally lodge a complaint with the EC. Jamaat Assistant Secretary General Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair described the decision as unacceptable and questioned whether it aimed to benefit specific groups. He argued that voters need phones for personal safety and documentation of irregularities. NCP spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan and media secretary Yasir Arafat also criticized the restriction, calling it unreasonable and counterproductive.
The alliance leaders are scheduled to visit the EC later in the day to discuss the issue and demand withdrawal of the ban, which they say undermines transparency and voter rights.
