Four brothers of a family in Tangail will contest in the upcoming national parliament election of December 29.
They are Awami League (AL) central leader Abdul Latif Siddiqui, his younger brother Krishak Sramik Janata League (KSJL) president Abdul Kader Siddiqui Bir Uttam and their younger brothers and Tangail district KSJL joint conveners Murad Siddiqui and Azad Siddiqui.
This time, Kader Siddiqui has submitted his nomination papers for three constituencies--Tangail-3 (Ghatail), Tangail-4 (Kalihati) and Tangail-8 (Sakhipur-Basail)--as KSJL candidate.
