Hailakandi administration serves show cause notices to AIUDF candidates for MCC violation

Hailakandi, December 2, 2018:

The Hailakandi district administration has viewed serious violation of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by some candidates during their election campaign meetings in the district.

Returning Officer, Adil Khan has issued show cause notices to two candidates of the AIUDF for violation of MCC in their campaign meetings on November 28 and asked them to reply as to why action should not be initiated against them for flagrant violation of MCC, including cancellation of their candidature.

AIUDF Zila Parishad candidate of Rangauti-Nitainagar constituency, Farhana Khanam Choudhury used loudspeakers in her election campaign meeting much beyond the permissible time limit of 8 pm forcing the magistrate and police to intervene and stop her meeting.

The MCC clearly stipulates that microphone and loudspeakers cannot be used between 8 pm to 8 am.

On the other hand, AIUDF Zila Parishad candidate of Bhatirkupa-Boalipar constituency, Jahurul Islam Mazumder was given notice for the same act.
