Chief Election Commissioner Huda asked the EC officials not to pay heed to ‘poetic and noetic’ words after Election Commissioner Talukdar referred to a poem by Rabindranath Tagore in their speeches at a meeting in Dhaka on Thursday. Talukdar termed the upcoming Dhaka city polls ‘temperate’. The commissioner asked the officials not to bow down to any pressure, fear, or desire. Quoting from Tagore’s poem, he said, “Those who commit injustice and the victims who tolerate it without protest are equally guilty." Later, CEC Huda in his speech thanked the EC officials for organising “successful and acceptable” parliamentary polls.
