Local correspondent

A former leader of the Chhatra Dal in Kishoreganj has announced his joining the Awami League. The young politician, Yahia Hatim, said that he is joining the Awami League after being associated with BNP politics for a long time.

Yahia Hatim said that he was a former member of Kishoreganj District Chhatra Dal. Later, he decided to change the party after being attracted to the ideals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the principles and ideals of the Awami League.

He said, “Bangladesh Awami League is an ideological political party. Inspired by the ideals of Bangabandhu, Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina and the leadership of Bhatir Ratna Abdul Hamid Khan, I joined the Awami League. I hope that the Awami League will welcome me. From today, I am an Awami League worker.”

Earlier, the joining of Advocate Faizul Karim Mubin, son of BNP founding president and State Minister for Health in Ziaur Rahman’s government in Kishoreganj, to the Awami League had also sparked discussions.

He mentioned that he supported Sheikh Hasina because he believes in the spirit of the Liberation War and secularism.

Mubin also said on Facebook Live, “Bangladesh politics is now entering a new chapter. Sheikh Hasina is not only the Awami League, she is a symbol of stability in this country. Now is the time for unity in the interest of the country and the people.”

Regarding joining the Awami League, Mubin said, “The new Bangladesh that people wanted to see after August 5th did not happen. Those who are greedy for wealth, power, and position are trying to come to power through the back door, so where was Sheikh Hasina’s mistake?”

“He won’t run the country, we will run it – if Sheikh Hasina was overthrown to overthrow such a person, then Sheikh Hasina was better than them,” he said.
