AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, presidium member of Bangladesh Awami League and Rajshahi City Corporation mayor, has called upon the panel nominated by the Joint Bar Coordinating Council, backed by Awami League, to make the candidates winner in the election of Bangladesh Bar Council.
He made the call while addressing an election meeting as the chief guest at Bar Bhaban No. 1 in Rajshahi on Sunday at 2:30 pm. At the meeting, AHM Khairuzzaman Liton said, “Forget the internal strife among yourselves and vote for the candidates of our panel. Hopefully, our candidates will win the May 25 election.”
Mayor Liton said, “The effects of the Russia-Ukraine war have fallen on world markets. All in all, a crisis has been created in the world market. The price of dollar and commodity has risen. In such a situation, attempts are being made to confuse the people of this country by saying that the country’s economy has become fragile as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina built the Padma Bridge with our own money. Those who are ignorant say that Bangladesh will become Sri Lanka at any time. Sri Lanka is in crisis because of their mistakes. It would not be right to compare Bangladesh with Sri Lanka. Bangladesh’s reserves are adequate, our expatriate workers are still sending remittances, and our per capita income has risen from 2,500 $ to 2,872 $. Educated people understand these indicators.”
RCC Mayor Khairuzzaman Liton said that the way Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina handled the country during the corona period has been appreciated by the whole world. She has taken some economic precautions like controlling imports of luxury goods and ban of government officials’ traveling abroad.
F group seat candidate Advocate Md. Ekramul Haque spoke at the meeting. Among others, Advocate Mozaffar Hossain, Advocate Md. Yahya, Advocate Ejazul Haque Manu, and Advocate Khairul Bashar also spoke.
Rajshahi Metropolitan Awami League Legal Affairs Secretary and Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court PP Advocate Md. Musabbirul Islam conducted the programme.
It may be mentioned that the election of Bangladesh Bar Council-2022 will be held on May 25. In the election, the candidates of the panel nominated by the Combined Lawyers Coordinating Council supported by Bangabandhu Awami Bar Council are: General seat candidate valiant freedom fighter Advocate Syed Rezaul Rahman, Advocate Kamrul Islam, Advocate Mohammad Mokhlesur Rahman Badal, liberation war organizer Advocate Shah Md. Khasruzzaman, Advocate Rabiul Alam Budu, Mohammad Saeed Ahmed (Raja), Nazrul Islam Khan and Advocate Md. Ekramul Haque.
