Bangladesh Party Threatens Election Halt Over Symbol Dispute

Imagine a new political party in Bangladesh wants to use the 'shapla,' which is like their country's flower, as their symbol.

The government in charge of elections said no, because it's not on their official list.

The party is upset and saying they might stop the elections if they can't use their symbol.

They believe there's no good reason to deny them the symbol since it's not illegal.

This party has a history of protests and wants to win many seats in the election.

The election officials say they must choose a symbol from a pre-approved list.

The party is considering how to react to this.
