During the preparatory meeting for the harmony rally, the candidates for the Zilla Parishad elections entered the conference room together and hurriedly submitted their nomination papers to the District Commissioner, he said.
He also said that a chaotic situation was created in the meeting hall due to crowding of people.
It was decided to pray for the departed souls of the people who died in the recent fire at BM Container Depot, the people who died in the railway crossing accident in Mirsrai and the four people who died in the road accident in Zorarganj on September
14.
The DC said a man prayed with Munajat in the crowd during the filing of nomination papers. Many people who were present in the conference room in a scattered manner also took part in the Munajat prayer.
"The Munajat prays for the country's development progress, communal harmony and salvation of the departed souls of those killed and injured in accidents. Nothing was said about the Zilla Parishad election in the prayer," he mentioned.
Mominur Rahman said no statement was made on that day to solicit votes for any party or to influence the Zilla Parishad elections.
