Election Commissioner Md Alamgir on Sunday said that all kinds of assistance will be provided to those who will participate in the elections.
"If any political party wants help in elections, that party concerned will get help. All kinds of assistance will be provided to those who will participate in the elections," he told journalists at his office at Nirbachan Bhaban in capital Dhaka's Agargaon area.
Alamgir further said if BNP wants to join elections, the EC will help the party.
"But it is not our responsibility to control political parties. All efforts will be made for those parties who will participate in the elections. We have nothing to do with those who do not come to the polls," he continued.
In replying to another query, he said that action will be taken if there is any complaint about the role of the police administration.
"However, the complaint must be specific and informative," he added.
According to the schedule announced by the EC, the 12th parliamentary elections will be held on January 7.
It is learned that 10 parties, including the ruling party, will participate in the polls in an alliance.
They have already started selling party nomination forms aiming to pick their candidates for contesting the 12th national polls, EC sources said.
