DHAKA: Election Commissioner Brig Gen (Rtd) Jabed Ali claimed backbone of the Election Commission is alright.

Standing up from chair Jabed Ali said, “See my backbone is still alright. I am the oldest person of the commission and I am fit. So you understand backbone of every commissioner is fine.”

He came up with the observation while talking to journalists at commission’s secretariat on Wednesday in response to opposition BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s recent remarks about the backbone of the commission.

Jabed Ali also said commission will perform its duty as per constitution. Political party need not worry as it is committed to hold free, fair and impartial elections.
