BNP Candidate Shimul Biswas Votes in Pabna, Urges People to Reject Vote Buying

Voting began in a festive and peaceful atmosphere across five constituencies in Pabna on Wednesday morning.

BNP candidate for Pabna-5, Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, cast his vote at 7:45am at the Puran Kuthipara Government Boys Primary School polling station in Pabna Sadar municipality.

Speaking to the media after voting, Shimul Biswas said attempts to influence voters with money should be rejected at the ballot box. “Those who are trying to buy votes by exploiting people’s hardships will receive their answer through voting,” he said.
