Khelafat Majlish seeks alliance ticket from Khulna-4

In a statement issued here yesterday, Moulana Sakhawat Hossain, central joint secretary general of Khelafat Majlis demanded nomination from the constituency, claiming that his position is better than any BNP aspirant in the area.

Moulana Sakhawat has appealed to the BNP central high command to field him in Khulna-4 'to defeat any candidate of Awami League'.

BNP has lost its image among people due to intra-prty squabbles. A wise and correct decision can save four-party alliance from losing the seat, he said.

President of Khulna district BNP Prof Mojidul Islam, former lawmaker Nurul Islam and central president of Chatra Dal Azizul Bari Helal are also vying for nomination from Khulna-4.

Prof Majidul Islam's supporters have already threatened to resign from BNP if he is not nominated, party sources said.

Besides, intra-party rivalry has damaged the image of former law-maker Nurul Islam.

In the present circumstances, I have the right to claim nomination from here as my party is one of the components of the alliance, Moulana Sakhawat said in the statement.
