"Those who are still trying to stop us through violence and intimidation are forgetting that this nation has already passed through July," he said.
He also wrote that the "politics of muscle power" has ended, adding that the will of the people could not be suppressed.
He also claimed that his political opponents, having failed to engage in policy-based debate, had "resorted to acts of violence."
"The politics of fear will no longer prevail," Shafiqur added, expressing confidence that the support he claims to have garnered from voters in Daripalla would be reflected in the ballot.
