The Election Commission (EC) has taken a policy decision not to list the national emblem, the water lily, as an election symbol amid claims over it by two political parties, reports bdnews24.com. The EC will exclude the water lily from the official list of election symbols under the conduct rules. "In the newly proposed list of symbols, the water lily will not be included. It will not be part of our official schedule as an election symbol," said Masud. On the issue of the water lily, Masud said both the national emblem and the national flag are protected under specific provisions in the Constitution.
