“Our only aim is to hold a free, fair, and impartial election. In any case, if we fail to do so, our country itself will turn into a failed state, because we will be isolated from the world,” he said.
The election commissioner was speaking as the chief guest at a training programme for executive magistrates on the occasion of the general election at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center in Dhaka.
The 12th parliamentary polls are scheduled to be held on 7 January with the major opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its allies boycotting the election.
