“Jamaat leaders are saying they will not give us a single seat in Dhaka… I think they are saying such things to encourage their workers. But they should not say anything that even puts their faith (in Allah) to the test,” he said. Speaking at a discussion organised by Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal at the Jatiya Press Club, Nazrul, a BNP Standing Committee member, also warned Jamaat leaders that Allah does not like pride or arrogance. No such requirement exists,” the BNP leader said. Nazrul said BNP raised the issue with the Election Commission, which claimed it was done unintentionally by office staff.
