A broom procession and protest rally were held in Muradnagar, Cumilla, on Wednesday in response to controversial remarks made by former adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan about BNP candidate and former five-time MP Kazi Shah Mofazzal Hossain Kaykobad. The demonstration began at the BNP office in Muradnagar and ended at Allah Chattar after marching through the main roads. The event was organized under the banner of the people of Muradnagar and attended by local BNP leaders and activists.
Speakers at the rally accused Asif Mahmud of spreading false and conspiratorial statements against Kaykobad to hide his own alleged corruption. They described Kaykobad as a tested and popular leader and claimed that a planned smear campaign was being conducted to undermine him. The speakers warned that any further conspiracy or falsehood against Kaykobad would lead to strict programs, including blocking the Dhaka–Chattogram highway.
The protesters also alleged that certain Facebook pages and online platforms were deliberately spreading rumors about Kaykobad and urged the administration to investigate and take immediate action.
