Viral FB Post from Nur’s Page Calls for Uncontested Wins for Top Leaders

A post from the verified Facebook page of Gono Adhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur has sparked intense discussion by demanding the withdrawal of all other political candidacies in the constituencies of six prominent national leaders, including BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman.

The post, published today, Tuesday (January 20), was titled: "A special admin post, made without the prior permission of Nur Bhai, considering the necessity of the country and nation based on long-term struggle and political perspective."

The Six Leaders Mentioned

The admin post argued that the presence of the "heroes of the mass uprising" and key national leaders is essential in the upcoming historic National Parliament to build a "New Bangladesh." To ensure their presence, the post suggested that all other parties should withdraw their candidates as a mark of respect and support for the following individuals:

1. Tarique Rahman (Chairman, BNP)

2. Dr. Shafiqur Rahman (Ameer, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami)

3. Nurul Haque Nur (President, Gono Adhikar Parishad & Former DUCSU VP)

4. Nahid Islam (Convener, National Citizen Party)

5. Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim (Amir, Islami Andolan Bangladesh)

6. Maulana Mamunul Haque (Ameer, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish)

While the post claimed to be written by the page administrators without Nur’s direct consent, it has quickly gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from various political quarters. Critics and supporters alike are debating whether this "consensus-based" approach undermines democratic competition or strengthens national stability ahead of the February 12 polls.
