Hero Alam won't join any polls under AL govt

Friday, 21 July 2023


Independent candidate Ashraful Alam, better known as Hero Alam, who contested the Dhaka-17 by-elections held on July 17, said that he would not join any more election under the ruling Awami League (AL) in future, reports UNB.
"I became a victim of beating for a third time as an independent candidate during this government's regime. First in 2018, after the result of the Bogura by-elections was reversed despite winning, again I was a victim of thrashing in the Dhaka by-elections. I won't race for any more election under the AL government," he said.
Hero Alam came up with the remark while talking to journalists after a meeting with the chief of Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Branch (DB).
He, accompanied by his personal assistant Shuvo, entered the DB office to help them identify the perpetrators involved with the attack on him during the by-elections.
He raised questions over the role of on-duty Bangladesh Border Guard personnel as they didn't get off the vehicle despite noticing the incident in front of them.
