Sylhet-1 JS Polls
Muhith declares his candidature
Finance Minister AMA Muhith has declared his candidature for the next national polls from Sylhet-1 constituency.
He made the announcement at a meeting after bouncing ideas off the Awami League (AL) men from four unions in Sylhet Sadar upazila on Thursday night at the Circuit House here.
“I contested the 2001 polls for the first time with a little preparation. Since then I started working closely with the common people and finally secured a big victory in 2008 for the grand alliance,” he noted.
“It happened mainly due to all-out support from a cross section of people in Sylhet. I will again contest the next polls from this constituency.”
The AL should be voted to power again, said Muhith, just for completing its unfinished tasks, which it has started in all the major sectors.
The present government has already achieved laudable success in energy, education, agriculture and communication sectors, but the opposition is spreading “misleading propaganda” in the country, complained the finance minister.
He urged all to work together for the party and the nation.
District AL president and Sylhet Zilla Parishad administrator Abduz Zahir Chowdhury Sufian, general secretary Shafiqur Rahman Chowdhury MP, Sadar upazila chairman Ashfaque Ahmed addressed the meeting, among others, with Sadar upazila AL president Mofizur Rahman Badsha in the chair.
