BNP Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas, contesting from Dhaka-8, hosted his electoral rival Meghna Alam, a model and Gonodhikar Parishad candidate, for tea at his Shahjahanpur residence on Saturday afternoon. Meghna, who is contesting under the truck symbol, attended the courtesy meeting and shared photos of their conversation at the same table.

In her social media post, Meghna wrote that she and her Gonodhikar Parishad team accepted Abbas’s tea invitation and enjoyed kacchi biryani. She emphasized that her politics stands for mutual respect and national unity rather than vengeance, and urged voters to support her in Dhaka-8. Later, she posted a video showing herself petting a goat at Abbas’s home, captioning it with a message about kindness to living beings.

The meeting reflected a gesture of political civility between two rivals in the Dhaka-8 constituency ahead of the election, highlighting a rare moment of cordiality in the campaign atmosphere.
