Answer : Thank you for your query – as this has nothing to do with the Dhaka City Mayor campaign. However, I think it is not wise that I should tell what I have been doing for Feni. Since you are also from Feni you can ask anyone from Feni to know about my efforts towards socio-economic development of Feni.

Answer :

a) Thank you for your interest and willingness to work in the future mayoral election campaign.

b) I fully agree with you that we have to motivate young men and women, housewives, students, as well as people who are blind to party support and never bother to differentiate between candidates.

c) What we have to convince people is that giving or taking responsibility is not enough in itself because whoever is getting responsibility or trying to get responsibility must have the ability to solve the problem. Hence if someone has the ability to solve problem and get responsibility, only that person will be able to solve the problem.

d) My election campaign office will communicate with you in near future and I hope you will join the campaigning as soon as we can start.

Answer : One cannot achieve without having a dream. My dream is to make Dhaka a livable city; a city where people can commute safely and quickly; a city where there will be less pollution, less traffic jams; a city where the quality of education and healthcare is acceptable; and where there is quality drinking water. While developing Dhaka, I do not want to lose the charm of our 400-year-old city. I plan to promote and preserve heritage/cultural sites and make Dhaka artsy, greener, and cleaner. In short, I dream of modernizing Dhaka while retaining its beauty and cultural heritage.

Answer : Thank you for your question. It is indeed a complex one. Please find my response below. Firstly, the Mayoral post is a non-partisan (party) post. Secondly, until now I have never said that BNP will support my candidature. However, being a member of BNP, I do not rule out such support. Personally, I think there is a misconception that the Mayor has to be from the ruling party. These are two different tiers of government. Each tier has specific responsibilities and duties under law. They are not meant to be at loggerheads with each other, nor do the Mayor and Members of Parliament from Dhaka have overlapping duties. The local government laws are very clear-cut. I believe the main issue is not who is in the government but the ability of the Mayor to run the city in accordance with the local government ordinance. I truly believe the laws are strong enough to allow the Mayor to carry out his duties and responsibilities in a manner where there is no conflict with the national government. Dhaka needs a Mayor who should be well versed in the duties of the office and knowledgeable in good governance, which I am.
