Abu Asif said that there is no use in saying these things, “When I buy the nomination papers, I am asking the assistant returning officer of the by-election and the Ashuganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) whether to give the election or not?” Is there a will or not (fair election)? If you give a fair election, then I will stand. Otherwise innocent people like me will not be candidates. Not only BNP people, but also ordinary people came and stood by me.’
Abu Asif Ahmed said, “I have no comment on the results of last Wednesday’s by-election and election.” Since I have withdrawn from the election, I have no worries about these things.’ He said he did not even see the results.
Regarding whether he will be a candidate in future elections, Abu Asif Ahmed said, ‘Actually, if this election is held, I will not be a candidate again. And whether I will be a candidate for the election or not, I cannot say at this moment. let the time come let’s see But I don’t want to.’ Pointing out that his absence has had a big impact on business, he said, ‘Get well first. I will be out of the house in four to five days, I hope. I am not currently suffering from any insecurity.’
