Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) MA Aziz yesterday advised the journalists to ‘learn journalism’ prior to making any questions.

“Why are you throwing wild questions at me regularly? Learn journalism first and then question me,” he said as the reporters asked him if he is going to resign when he was coming out of his office escorted by police.

Reporters had to struggle for interviewing the CEC as the police obstructed them from asking questions.

The question of his resignation arose, as there was speculation by different media following the dialogue between the Awami League (AL) General Secretary Abdul Jalil and BNP Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan.

It has been reported that Bhuiyan, in response to the demands of Jalil, softened regarding the removal of CEC MA Aziz, but was firm on the question of Justice KM Hasan who is supposed to be the chief of the next caretaker government.

The opposition has been objecting to Hasan’s taking over the post calling him a partisan.

CEC Aziz gave rise to a number of controversies for making a faulty voter list where the number of voters was shown more than the number of people actually eligible as well as for not following the High Court (HC) verdict on fresh voter list.
