The Election Commission (EC) on June 17 drafted a new proposal to curtail the absolute power of political parties' parliamentary boards to nominate party candidates for parliamentary election. Using this power, the major political parties, especially the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Awami League, reportedly made huge amounts of money by selling party nominations to businessmen and black money holders during the previous parliamentary elections, while the dedicated leaders were ignored in many cases. According to the new proposal, two or more candidates will now be selected through a secret ballot by the grass roots workers of the registered parties, one of whom would be selected as the final candidate by the party's central parliamentary board. The new proposal as well as the proposed conditions for a political party to get registration with the EC will be finalised upon consultation with the major political parties after the embargo on indoor politics is lifted.

The two-day foreign secretary-level talks between Bangladesh and India concluded in Dhaka on June 26, reports Daily Star. Both sides reportedly agreed to share security information regarding cross-border crimes and look to accelerate resolutions on border and water-resources sharing. The acting Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh, Touhid Hossain, and Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon issued a joint statement at a press conference. Menon described Bangladesh as a "priority" for India and said although it is in India's interest for Bangladesh to be "peaceful, democratic and stable", "ultimately, it's the people of Bangladesh who will decide their future." Speaking on security issues, Menon said, "I think our securities are linked. We have a common security interest. Criminals, insurgents, terrorists--if any of these elements seek sanctuary, then it doesn't help either India or Bangladesh. We are both determined to work against this."
