MP candidate Maulana Jamil ran away after announcing to feed hilsa for 10 taka!

Local correspondent

Maulana Raihan Jamil, an independent MP candidate, had announced to provide hilsa for just 10 taka in Sadarpur upazila of Faridpur. Hearing the news, hundreds of people from different villages gathered there. Maulana Jamil, who had only brought a few pieces of fish, was shocked to see so many people. In the meantime, he was preparing for his campaign. But in the face of public uproar and protests, Raihan Jamil abandoned the campaign at one point and ran away.

The incident took place on Wednesday, September 17th, at around 11 am on the grounds of Bishwa Zaker Manzil Government High School in Sadarpur Upazila of Faridpur.

Maulana Raihan Jamil has announced that he will contest the upcoming national elections as an independent candidate from Faridpur-4 (Bhanga, Sadarpur and Charbhadrasan) constituency.

Locals said that hundreds of people from different villages gathered there after hearing the news of giving hilsa for just 10 taka. But his real intention was to gather people and make a political speech. He wanted to hold a public meeting by bringing a very small amount of fish. The people got angry when they got enough fish. At one point, Raihan Jamil quickly fled in fear of them.

Still, the people could not accept this deception. When he reached Bhashanchar Union Parishad area, an angry crowd seized his car. As the situation became heated, he somehow escaped with the help of some locals.

Local people who came to buy hilsa said, “I heard that they will give you hilsa for 10 taka.” I had been standing since morning, but I couldn’t get any fish. Instead, there was a scuffle and a fight. Later, I saw that the MP candidate had run away.

In this regard, Raihan Jamil said, “At the moment, the most expensive fish in the country is Hilsa. Many people do not have the ability to buy and eat this fish. So I am trying to give away 10 taka per piece of Hilsa to some people in my area. But many people come after hearing this news.”

Sadarpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sukdev Roy said, “I had already warned Raihan Jamil about the matter. He ignored our words and carried out his political activities. Upon receiving information about the chaos, police had to be sent to bring the situation under control.”
