A meeting was held with journalists on Tuesday with Engineer Fakhrul Alam, President of the JTEB Central Committee and founding member secretary of the Mirsarai Nationalist Forum in Dhaka, who is seeking nomination from BNP for the Chittagong-1 (Mirsarai) constituency in the upcoming National Parliament election.

He announced his candidacy from BNP at a press conference organized by the BNP unit and associate organizations of Mirsarai Upazila Municipality in Chittagong-1 on Monday morning at the Mirsarai Cafe Restaurant in the upazila headquarters.

JTEB Central Committee President Engineer Fakhrul Alam said, "I have been involved in the politics of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party BNP at the national level and the politics of Mirsarai Upazila for a long time. I have tried to be at the forefront of all movements and struggles. 

 I will seek nomination from BNP for the Chittagong-1 (Mirsarai) constituency in the upcoming 11th National Parliament election. I am hopeful that the party will nominate me after considering the overall situation. Even if I do not get the nomination, since I work with textiles, I will continue to work to revamp that sector."

He also said, Mirsarai cannot be made a town of terrorism. If you who are conscious people also play a role, then Mirsarai can be taken a long way forward. Mirsarai Upazila is rich in many ways. Everyone must work together to make this Upazila a more prosperous town.

He said, "Mirsarai needs competent leadership to present it to the nation as a role model of development. If elected, I will work dedicatedly for the people of Mirsarai."
