Jamaat chief Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami yesterday said no credible election could be held in emergency situation and warned against attempt to leave out any political party from the election fracas by creating artificial deadlock.

Addressing party workers at Ukhiya and Chakoria in Cox's Bazar he called for national unity to resist any conspiracy to foil the election set for December 18.

He urged the government to ensure participation of all parties in the election. Political leaders should be set free and emergency lifted. They should be allowed to meet freely with the voters and similarly voters meet them without the fear of falling under the mischief of emergency rules.

Recalling the past Nizami said election set for January 22 last year was frustrated by the 'logi-baitha terrors' under the blue print of turning the country to a vassal state. The present government did not take any action against those terrors.

The Jamaat chief asked the party rank and file to see that logi-baitha forces could not again raise their head.
