People will continue to suffer if Jamaat not elected: Parwar

KHULNA, Jan 26 (BSS): Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and candidate of Khulna-5 contituency Mia Golam Parwar has said the suffering, corruption and mismanagement that have prevailed over the last 54 years will continue if Jamaat-e-Islami is not voted to power.

"Without victory of Daripalla, the sufferings of the country will continue," he said while addressing election rallies on Monday.

The Jamaat leader took part in processions, courtyard meetings and door-to-door campaigning at Phultala upazila's Patiabandha, Dhopakhola and Piprail, and Dumuria upazila's Mandra, Dahkhola, Pakuria, Rudaghara and Shailgati areas.

Golam Parwar claimed that students have already defeated extortionists in various students' union elections. He added that, similarly, corrupt and extortionist elements can also be defeated in the national election, he said.

He called upon voters to rise above party affiliations and vote for the persons 'having honesty and good moral character'.

"If the sheaf of paddy, boat and plough can run the state, the Scales can do so as well. This is our right," he said.
