DHAKA, Dec 4, 2023 (BSS) - Awami League (AL) advisory council member Amir Hossain Amu today called upon the people to cast their votes in favour of “boat”, electoral symbol of AL, in the forthcoming national polls to give a befitting reply to all sorts of conspiracies.

“It is natural that a small country will face conspiracies during national elections. But we will have to give a befitting reply to all kinds of conspiracies by making ‘boat’ triumphant in the next elections,” he said.

Amu, also 14-party alliance coordinator, was addressing a rally “Tarunyer Joyjatra” organised by Awami Jubo League marking its founding chairman Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani’s 85th birthday.
The rally was arranged at Bangabandhu Avenue in front of AL’s central office in the city.
     
The AL senior leader said being jealous about the Bangladesh’s unprecedented development under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s leadership, plotters are out to hatch conspiracy against the state.

AL should be voted to power again to continue the country’s current development spree, he added.

Amu said Sheikh Mani was not only the founder of AL’s youth organization Jubo League but also he played a heroic role to change the country’s political course.

Whenever Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was in jail, Sheikh Mani used to spearhead students and working class people and that is why he was very much popular among workers.

Jubo League chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash chaired the rally while AL joint general secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim, writer and journalist Swadesh Roy also spoke. Jubo League general secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil conducted the rally.

Bahauddin Nasim said BNP-Jamaat clique is out to harm the country’s democratic rule through conspiracies and as part of that they are continuing its violent activities.

BNP-Jamaat’s violent hartal and blockade programmes are not welcomed by the people rather the masses hate such kinds of subversive activities, he said.
