Supreme Court lawyer and Jamaat-e-Islami nominated candidate for the Sunamganj-2 (Dirai-Shalla) constituency, Mohammad Shishir Monir, has declared his intention to build a community based on unity and harmony. Speaking on Wednesday at an electoral unity and harmony rally held at Shashkhai Bazar in Shalla upazila, he emphasized that such harmony cannot be achieved by excluding anyone from society.
Monir stated that a certain group is attempting to create division in society on communal grounds, but true harmony requires the participation of all, including priests, imams, farmers, and laborers. He said he entered politics with the hope of social change and expressed confidence that, with public support, he would bring positive transformation to Dirai-Shalla’s social structure.
He also alleged that some are using the events of 1971 for political purposes to divide the people of Dirai-Shalla. The rally, chaired by former UP member Montu Chandra Das and conducted by youth Subrata Das of Mourapur village, drew a large crowd from various professions.
