Mahbub Talukder himself a 'problem' for EC: Quader

The Awami League (AL) general secretary on Monday said Mahbub Talukder, not the election commission (EC), is suffering from a severe mental disease.

“Surprisingly, the way Mahbub Talukder, a commissioner of EC, is making political statements on behalf of a party, it seems that he is suffering from a severe mental illness. He himself is the main problem of the incumbent EC," said Obaidul Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, while briefing newsmen at a community centre in the capital.

Mahbub Talukder on Sunday told newsmen at his office that the EC has been infected with complicated disease and a medical board has to be formed to save it.

“The BNP itself is being divided. Now, they will form committee sitting at home. They don’t need to hold council. They don’t have democracy in their party. How will they establish democracy in the country?" Quader asked.
