The Awami League candidate said, “I was affiliated with BNP in the past. Why did I join Awami League? I joined because I am a freedom-loving person. I have seen that whenever a party boycotts elections, it gradually becomes weak. People do politics to participate in elections. It is not possible that your party wins every election. A democratic system is complete only when there are representatives in Parliament.”
Kathalia Upazila Parishad Chairman Mohammad Imadul Haq Monir also addressed the rally presided over by Upazila Awami League President Bimal Chandra Samaddar. Many BNP leaders and workers, followers of Shahjahan Omar, were also present in the rally.
