Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Amir Maulana Mamunul Haque strongly condemned the attack on Nasiruddin Patwari, a candidate of the 11-party alliance, during a late-night rally in Bahubal, Habiganj. The event took place on Tuesday midnight following a day of assemblies in Sylhet. The rally was organized in support of Maulana Sirajul Islam Mirpuri, the alliance-backed candidate for the Habiganj-1 (Nabiganj-Bahubal) constituency, who is contesting under the ‘Rickshaw’ symbol.

In his speech, Mamunul Haque described the attack on Patwari as a disgraceful act, claiming it reflected the desperation of political opponents seeking to prevent their impending defeat through violence and intimidation. He emphasized that such tactics would no longer intimidate the people of Bangladesh, referencing the courage and resilience of the public in the current political climate.

Thousands of supporters reportedly attended the rally despite the late hour, expressing their backing for Mirpuri and calling for his victory in the upcoming election.
