Nominate BNP man, not Jamaat leader from Shyamnagar
Human chain demands terming incumbent MP as corrupt
Our Correspondent, Satkhira
Over 1000 leaders and activists of BNP in Shyamnagar formed a human chain on Friday demanding nomination of BNP leader Syed Iftekhar Ali as a candidate of four-party alliance in the next general election and opposing incumbent Jamaat lawmaker Gazi Nazrul Islam. They also held a rally in front of Shyamnagar BNP office with upazila BNP convenor Abdul Wahed in the chair. Leaders and activists of the ruling coalition in Shyamnagar have fallen apart over nomination in the next polls, sources in the parties said. Speakers at the rally said they will boycott the polls if the alliance nominates a Jamaat leader instead of Syed Iftekhar Ali. They also alleged that the incumbent MP from the area is involved in corruption and facing image crisis. The rally was addressed by, among others, upazila BNP secretary DM Abdus Samad, Ishwaripur UP chairman Amjadul Islam, Bhurulia UP chairmn Shajahan Siraj. They alleged that Jamat lawmaker Gazi Nazrul Islam was responsible for splitting the four party alliance in the district and BNP will not accept his nomination. He has tarnished the image of the alliance government by resorting to corruption and nepotism, they alleged.
