The President of Sunamganj Awami League (AL) Nurul Huda Mukut has asked his party men to break hands of those who will try to change the ballot box in the upcoming Upazila Parishad election scheduled to be held at May 21.
Nurul Huda Mukut, also chairman of Sunamganj Zilla Parishad, said “Voting in Jamalganj Upazila Parishad elections will be fair and impartial. If anyone tries to change the ballot box, break their hand.”
He made the remark while addressing a campaign rally in Sunamganj’s Jamalganj upazila on Saturday night.
“I will be on the field on voting day. This is not a political election as the prime minister did not nominate anyone. Therefore, only the candidate who has acceptance should be elected,” he said.
The rally was organised in favour of Jamalganj upazila chairman candidate Rezaul Karim Shamim, also the vice-president of the upazila AL unit.
Nurul Huda said there are rumours that the ballot boxes will be changed.
Three candidates–Rezaul Karim Shamim, incumbent chairman Iqbal Al Azad and Nurul Haque Afindi, suspended president of the upazila unit of BNP, are contesting for the post of chairman in the upazila election.
