An allegation has been raised that a plan to kill independent candidate Hasan Mamun in the Patuakhali-3 (Galachipa-Dashmina) constituency is underway. The claim was made on Thursday morning at a press conference held at Mamun’s election headquarters, where former senior joint general secretary of Dashmina Upazila BNP, Md. Fokoruzzaman Badol, accused Ganadhikar Parishad president and BNP-backed candidate Nurul Haque Nur of orchestrating the plot.

In a written statement, Badol alleged that Nur held three meetings with Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and received illegal funds for anti-state activities, as reportedly stated by the Palestinian ambassador. He further claimed that Nur earned large sums through lobbying after August 5 and was using the money for election expenses, pressuring BNP activists with financial incentives to support him.

Badol also alleged that Nur’s supporters attacked Mamun’s campaign offices, spread false propaganda using AI, and conducted nighttime armed displays with outsiders. Several BNP leaders, including Abdul Alim Talukdar and Elamul Haque Ratan, were present at the press conference.
