Sargis Dissatisfied Even With Radish, Eggplant, and Cot; Questions Election Commission’s Taste

Staff Correspondent

Sarjis Alam, the chief organizer of the National Citizens Party (NCP) for the northern region, expressed his dissatisfaction with the radish, brinjal, and khat symbols. He also raised questions about the taste of the Election Commission.

He made these comments in response to questions from journalists after exchanging views with members of mosque committees from different areas at Sher-e-Bangla Park in Panchagarh on Sunday evening, October 5.

Sarjis said, “How can symbols that make people laugh be on the Election Commission’s list? It’s an expression of their taste. Why do we have to tell them? Radish, brinjal, cot, plates and bowls cannot be on the Election Commission’s list of symbols. Is there a shortage of symbols in the country? They should fix this place and correct it.”

He also said that the Election Commission was given the option to add something to the lotus, such as a white lotus or a red lotus.

Sargis further complained, “We clearly see that the Election Commission is acting arbitrarily. They are abusing their power. They are acting like this under the influence of someone. We cannot accept this in any way. If we have to confront this politically, we will do so. We will vote with Shapla in the next election.”

Sarvis also said that since there are no legal obstacles, the NCP is not considering anything other than Shapla.
