Bogura: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Noor Mohammad Abu Taher has stated that establishing a society rooted in justice by ending long-standing misrule and discrimination is his party’s primary goal in the Bogura-3 (Adamdighi-Dupchanchia) constituency.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Abu Taher expressed in an interview that he has been actively campaigning door to door with the aim of transforming the neglected Bogura-3 constituency into a modern and exemplary area. Emphasizing his election promises, the Jamaat candidate affirmed his party’s commitment to creating a safe society devoid of corruption and extortion.
Abu Taher highlighted that if Jamaat-e-Islami forms the government, the focus would be on developing youth into skilled manpower rather than offering false hopes to the unemployed. He also vowed to eliminate political discrimination in employment that educated youth in Adamdighi and Dupchanchia have faced in the past.
He further mentioned that special attention would be dedicated to the development of agriculture and cottage industries, while maintaining social harmony through the renovation of mosques, madrasas, and temples. Addressing the electoral code of conduct, Abu Taher stated that strict instructions have been given to party leaders and activists to fully comply with election rules.
“Discipline is our identity. We have instructed our workers to campaign peacefully and respect opponents. Respect for the law is the first step toward victory,” he added.
On the subject of the referendum and the July Charter, he emphasized that the sacrifices of the martyrs of the July Uprising must not be in vain. He noted that Jamaat-e-Islami and its 10-party alliance are advocating for a ‘yes’ vote to ensure the legal foundation of the July Charter, describing its implementation as crucial for the existence and creation of a new, just Bangladesh.
Expressing optimism about the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for February 12, Abu Taher remarked that people are eager for change and have regained their voting rights after a long struggle. He stated that if voters can cast their ballots without fear, the victory of the ‘Daripalla’ symbol is assured in this constituency, emphasizing that his party seeks unity, not division, in building Bogura.
The Bogura-3 constituency encompasses Adamdighi and Dupchanchia upazilas, with four candidates contesting the seat: BNP’s Md Abdul Mohit Talukder (Sheaf of Paddy), Jamaat-e-Islami’s Nur Mohammad Abu Taher (Scale), Jatiya Party’s Md Shahinul Islam (Plough), and Islami Andolan Bangladesh’s Md Shahjahan Ali Talukder (Hand Fan).
