BNP candidate for Dhaka-9 constituency, Habibur Rashid Habib, has called on voters to go to polling centers on February 12, emphasizing that the election was achieved through great sacrifice. Speaking at a campaign courtyard meeting organized by residents of South Goran Chapra Mosque area under Khilgaon Police Station, he said that every citizen has a duty to participate in the democratic process.
Habib warned that conspiracies were ongoing around the election and that low voter turnout could embolden those seeking to destabilize Bangladesh. He urged citizens to vote regardless of political preference, describing participation as the truest way to honor the martyrs. Sharing his personal experiences, he said he had faced numerous false cases, imprisonment, and assassination attempts, but remained committed to building a democratic future for the country.
Addressing local issues, Habib highlighted long-standing problems in Dhaka-9, including gas shortages, waterlogging, poor roads, lack of playgrounds, and community facilities. He pledged to work with residents to solve these problems and called for unity to build a safe, humane, and democratic Bangladesh based on Islamic values.
