30 Jamaat activists join BNP in Chapainawabganj

About 30 activists of Jamaat-e-Islami joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) at an election campaign event held at Nakkattila Market of Dhainagar Union, Shibganj upzila, Chapainawabganj, on Tuesday.

Professor Md Shahjahan Mia, candidate of the Sheaf of Paddy symbol for Chapainawabganj-1 (Shibganj) constituency and adviser to the BNP chairman, welcomed them with flower garlands.

Md Shahjahan said that the political party that truly loves and supports Islam is BNP. President Ziaur Rahman included “Bismillah” in the constitution, and also added the statement “complete faith in Allah”.

He congratulated the 30 new recruits from Jamaat and called upon everyone to come under the banner of BNP in the future to build the country.

He also sought votes for the Sheaf of Paddy symbol and asked for everyone’s cooperation to make Shibganj a model upazila by creating employment opportunities for youth, ensuring overall development of mango production, and creating adequate sports opportunities across the upazila to keep youths and students away from drugs.

The meeting was presided over by AK Asgar Ali, convener of Dhainagar Union Election Management Committee. Special guests included Shibganj Upazila BNP Member Secretary Tosikul Alam, and others.
