Eleven-party alliance–nominated candidate for the Dhaka-11 constituency and convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP), Nahid Islam, has said that a mafia group has been frightened by the surge of public support.
“They are tearing down billboards and banners one after another out of fear. Desperate attempts are being made to stop the forward march of Shapla Kali (water lily bud),” he said.
Nahid Islam made the remarks in a post on his verified Facebook page on Monday.
In the post, he wrote that a billboard was torn down beside Nurbagh Mosque in Ward No 23 last night.
“I strongly condemn such a disgraceful act. Those who think they can stop me by tearing down banners and billboards are mistaken. On the 12th (February 12), the people of Badda, Vatara and Rampura will respond to you, Inshallah,” he added.
