AL selects Rana’s father and Bodi’s wife for nomination

Secretariat Correspondent: The Awami League (AL) general secretary Obaidul Quader said that the party’s controversial lawmakers Amanur Rahman Khan Rana and Abdur Rahman Bodi have been ruled out of nomination list.

Rather, Rana’s father Ataur Rahman for Tangail-3 (Ghatail) and Bodi’s wife Shahina Akter Chowdhury for Cox’s Bazar-4 (Ukhia-Teknaf) have been finalised for nomination to contest in the 11th general election.

The Road Transport and Bridges Minister told this to the reporters after a meeting with ndian High Commissioner Harsh Vardhan Shringla at the Secretariat on Tuesday.

The decision has been taken to avoid any controversy, he said.

Quader said, “Though there are controversies about them and there are allegations against them, but the allegations are not proved. Even then, we disqualified them to avoid controversies.”
