Mirza Abbas pledges honest, clean election campaign

BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas has vowed to run a truthful and respectful election campaign, emphasising that while criticising opponents is normal, making false or deceptive statements is not.

Speaking at an election exchange meeting organised by the Motaleb Plaza Flat Owners’ Association on Thursday afternoon, Mirza Abbas said, “We are true Muslims; we do not lie. We have faith; we believe in Allah. Therefore, we will not lie in the election.”

He mentioned that his campaign will focus on highlighting his achievements and future plans, rather than using derogatory language against leaders or candidates of other parties.

Abbas, the candidate for the Dhaka-8 seat, urged voters to exercise their franchise honestly, stressing the sacrifices made by citizens to secure the right to vote.

He added that he would avoid any trouble or quarrels during the election, although he expressed readiness to defend himself if necessary after the polls, reports UNB. 

The BNP candidate thanked locals for their support and called for their votes.
