Tamim’s panel boycotts BCB elections, citing government’s naked interference

Sports Desk

The naked interference of the usurper Yunus Sarkar has created an unprecedented situation in the BCB elections. Tamim Iqbal and all the candidates of his PAN have boycotted the elections in the wake of one incident after another in order to win over the government’s supporters.

The Tamims withdrew their nomination papers at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday, leaving no one in the election field except the government.

On Tuesday, former BCB president Faruk Ahmed filed a writ petition against 15 clubs on the instructions of sports advisor Asif Mahmud. The court suspended the voting rights of 15 clubs. There is no opportunity to appeal before the election as it is a Puja holiday. These 15 clubs belong to Tamim’s BNP-backed panel. Following this decision, 12 clubs in Dhaka decided to boycott the vote on Tuesday night.

Israfil Khasru, a councilor of Axiom Cricketers on behalf of Tamim’s panel, told the media about the naked interference, “Naked interference is going on in the BCB elections. There is no atmosphere for elections here. Arbitrariness is being practiced. We do not want any such elections in the new Bangladesh.”

“A group of the government is interfering here. That’s all I can say for now. We will hold a press conference soon and give details.”
