The Election Commission will take necessary legal action against Satkhira-4 MP Gazi Nazrul Islam after receiving a formal reference or letter from the Speaker of Parliament, Election Commissioner Abdur Rahmanel Masud said on Thursday.
“Only on the basis of a letter from a political party, there is no scope for taking any decision. Once we receive a reference or formal letter from the Speaker of Parliament, the law and Constitution will be reviewed and necessary action will be taken against Gazi Nazrul Islam,” he told journalists at his office at the Election Commission building in Agargaon.
Explaining the legal aspect of such cases, the Election Commissioner said the EC had no scope to take action if a political party expelled a lawmaker.
