Dhaka Nagorik Samaj, a platform of professionals, today extended their support to the Awami League sponsored mayoral hopefuls for the Dhaka city corporation elections.

At a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) this afternoon, Nagorik Samaj urged Dhaka dwellers to vote for Annisul and Khokon for betterment of the city.

Convener of the platform, poet Syed Shamsul Haque, said the platform was formed to garner support for Annisul and Khokon who he believed would work in the spirit of Liberation War.

“Dhaka will not choose anyone who undermines the spirit of Liberation War,” he said.

Cultural personality Golam Quddus, member secretary, called upon Dhaka dwellers to boycott the mayoral aspirants “favouring militancy and terrorism.” He spoke for a modern Dhaka, free from traffic jam and water logging and with all utility services.
