Jamaat-e-Islami leaders in Bogra are unhappy for not getting party candidates in Bogra- 4 (Khaloo-Nandigram) and Bogra -5 (Sherpur- Dhanut).
“We requested BNP central leadership through proper channel to reconsider their decision regarding selection of Jamaat-e-Islami candidates Nazir Ahmmed for Bogra-4 and Principal Rostom Ali for Bogra-5” said district Jamaat Ameer Shahab Uddin.
