BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir broke into tears on Monday, as he handed over Khaleda Zia’s nomination letter for contesting the 11th general election.
Fakhrul delivered the letter for Bogra 6 to BNP Bogra district unit President Saiful Islam, and for Bogra 7 to Khaleda Zia’s advisor Helaluzzaman Lalu at 3:15pm.
Fakrul began to choke up while handing over the nomination letters and, after a brief moment of silence, said: “I pray to God that she is freed soon, and restores democracy when she is elected.”
