I call upon the people of Valuka to support and cooperate with me in the election.”

They believe in the ideals of martyred President Ziaur Rahman, love the uncompromising leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia, and have full faith in the ideals of BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman. He emphasised that he has no involvement in any corrupt or decayed form of politics.
