Md Asaduzzaman said, "We will contest the election on the paddy sheaf. Alhamdulillah, we have been informed about this by the top leadership of BNP. From 28 December, I will work with you in the polling field for 24 hours."
Addressing the leaders and activists, he said, "Women activists of a party are going door to door selling tickets to heaven. But we believe that Allah is one and unique. On the Day of Judgment, it will be decided who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Yet a particular party is selling tickets to heaven in the hope of votes, which is blasphemy. All of you go door to door and dispel this idea among the people."
